Women's League participation in the Beth Israel daily minyan

Women's League urges members to volunteer for Tuesday evening Minyan twice during the year. Why Tuesdays? Because it has been one of the more difficult days to complete the minyan. Our participation is helpful and greatly appreciated.

Making the Minyan is integral to maintaining Jewish community. Minyan provides support to those in mourning or observing a yahrzeit by providing the opportunity to say Kaddish with a minyan. Below are details about the service:

Time: 7:30 pm (phone office to double check on your day)

Length: Approximately 20 minutes

Place: Downstairs chapel (Austin St. entrance)

Dress: Very casual

To sign up as a Women's League member, please contact Marci Feinberg:

Beth Israel’s daily Minyan is very important to our Congregation. Bring a friend! Your efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
