We have several programs listed, please select the desired program by clicking on any of the links here:


Chaverim

Chaverim is a synagogue Men’s group (mostly retired) that gets together twice a month on Wednesday afternoons. The first Wednesday of the month is for lunch and cards at TBE. The third Wednesday is for day trips. This is an informal group with your only obligation being to RSVP for activities.
Contact the TBE office – 302-366-8330 if you would like further information.

Caring Committee

This committee was formed to make every member of Temple Beth El feel they are truly a part of a caring community. This committee offers emotional support for those in need. Situations arise in our life where support may be necessary, such as a death of a loved one, a lost job, divorce, illness, etc. We welcome any and all members to be a part of this meaningful group of caring individuals.

For question please contact Arlene Johnson at .

Kesefim Investment Club

We at Temple Beth El have a small investment club which invests mainly in stocks on the major stock exchange. The club was started in 1995 and has continued to be profitable, even with the technology bubble burst a few years ago. For information, our portfolio is up 11% in the first 6 months this year.

The initial investment is a minimum of $1,000. Future investments of $250 can then be made quarterly. We usually meet on the first Sunday of every month when we review our portfolio and discuss whether to buy, sell, or hold each stock and vote whether to invest any cash on hand.

The current members have some real diverse knowledge and the meetings can be very enjoyable! If nothing else, you will usually gain some interesting information.

Call Temple Beth El at 302-366-8330 if you would like to know more.

Mah Jongg

We have a group right here at TBE that meets every Tuesday for lunch at a local restaurant and mahjong at the synagogue.

There is no weekly commitment!!!! Come as you wish…for lunch only, mahjong only, or both…once a month or every week or some schedule in between. It’s up to you. Whether you are a novice or expert we have a welcome place for you! We also take several trips a year…we went to the Alfred I. DuPont Mansion and Gardens, movie and a drink, and New York for lunch and a show just in the last three months.

If you are interested in hearing more about what we do or to become part of our group, please call Arlene Eckell at 368-3530 or e-mail halenn at comcast.net to have your name put on our weekly e-mail list.
