Following an accident, Altshul member Jess Nemoy is at the Lutheran

5) CBE Gala Dinner

As you all know, Altshul has greatly benefited from the hospitality of
Congregation Beth Elohim (CBE), meeting there rent-free for several
years. On May 6, CBE will be holding a gala dinner to celebrate and
raise funds for the synagogue buildings, which need very serious
repairs. Altshul would like to purchase a table or two for the dinner,
and we hope you will consider making a donation toward this end.

We know that many of you made donations last fall to help with the
sanctuary repairs, and we appreciate your generosity. CBE has been
Altshul's home for several years and helping to maintain and sustain
this building is a way of us showing our appreciation and connecting
with the CBE community.

If you plan to make a donation, please email Daniel Septimus at
dsep...@gmail.com, and send checks made out to Congregation Beth
Elohim to Daniel Septimus 580 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238..

6) Become an Altshul Shammash

Altshul is currently recruiting shamashim for the upcoming year,
starting on June 1. Shamashim are responsible for coordinating the
week-to-week operations of the minyan, from the services and kiddushes
to working with Altshul committee volunteers. If you are interested in
taking on this role, please go to http://tiny.cc/oyipt to fill out a
