When should I arrive? We encourage arrival at 7:00pm so you have ample time to enjoy drinks, hors d'oevres, and dinner with the community. When does dinner start? Unlike in years past, we will be offering dinner—along with cocktails and hors d'oevres—at 7:00pm in order to give everyone time to eat before the program starts! We will be moving into the Sanctuary at 8:20pm for the program.
Where do I park? Please allow adequate time to find parking, as space is limited in the Beth El front and back lots. Additional parking is available in the Ursuline School parking lot, located at 1354 North Avenue, and in the surrounding public streets. Please do not park in the CVS lot as your car would be subject to towing.
What will we do? Enjoy cocktails, delicious eats, and bid on items in our silent auction 7:00pm-8:20pm. At this point, we will transition to the Sanctuary for an approximately thirty-minute program celebrating Rabbi Schuck's 10 years at Beth El. Following this program, we will return to dancing, dessert, and more opportunities to bid in the silent auction. Look forward to additional exciting surprises throughout the evening that speak to this year's gala celebration.
What should I wear? Think celebration, festive and fun, whether that means your favorite cocktail attire — a stylish dress, a dapper jacket, a suit, a tie — or whatever makes you feel good and ready to celebrate.
Can I bid online in the silent auction now? Yes! Browse the goods here. Online auction ends at 11:00pm tomorrow (Tuesday), and will continue in real life at the gala.
Can I still place a journal ad? Yes! Rabbi Schuck will be presented with a printed comprehensive journal after the gala, inclusive of last minute journal ads.
Can I still submit a published poem for the Poet Tree? Yes! We are collecting poems through June 20th. You can submit a poem here.
