Dear Congregant,

As you know, our beloved Cantor Judy Seplowin will be retiring this summer after serving our Congregation for 26 years. In Judy’s honor, we have invited Broadway star Julie Benko to join us in the Fain Sanctuary on Sunday, May 3 at 4:00 p.m., following our Rosalea E. and Newton B. Cohn Annual Meeting. We thank the Benefactors’ Fund for generously sponsoring this celebratory concert. 

As a lasting keepsake, we will be printing a tribute book to honor Cantor Seplowin. Distributed at the event on May 3, your entry in the tribute book will let Judy know how much she has meant to all of us at Beth-El, as well as to the larger community. Below are the levels of giving. Funds raised will support the Securing the Future Campaign at Temple Beth-El.

Please mark your calendar so that you may join us on May 3 for this historic, joyous afternoon of celebration. Thank you for your tribute! Either mail the form below with payment to Temple Beth-El or visit www.temple-beth-el.org/form/AdBook to create your tribute online.

Most sincerely,

Ruby Shalansky, Diane & Bob Ducoff, Tribute Book Chairs
