Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When and where is the gala?
June 6, 2024 at Beth El.
What will I do at the gala?
You'll start by schmoozing with our friends in the Beth El community! Together we will celebrate a beautiful evening with craft beers, cocktails and mocktails; bid on unique and amazing experiences and prizes.
We'll honor Lisa and Rob Patchen and President's Ne'emanim Award Recipients Lisa and Larry Mandelker for their leadership of our community; and then we'll dance together in celebration and fun.
Why does Beth El do a gala?
There are 3 reasons for the gala: we raise money to support our shul; we toast our honorees and thank them for their work; and it gives us a time to spend a fun evening together with our community.
What do I wear?
The dress is "festive attire" which really means it’s up to you -- think garden party, bar mitzvah. Be comfortable and festive – enjoy this chance to dig out the fun dress from the back of your closet and discover that you can wear clothes other than sweatpants.
Where do I park?
Parking is available at Beth El .
Unfortunately I have a conflict that night. Is there anything I can do to show my support for Beth El and the honorees?
Yes! You can take out an ad in our online journal, buy raffle tickets, and bid on some of the terrific items in (or donate items to) our online auction. You can do all of those things by visiting the gala page of Beth El’s website.
