Welcome Facility Director Anthony Maiolo! Last month, we welcomed Anthony, our new Facility Director to the Beth El team. Anthony has already had an opportunity to meet many congregants and experience the richness of the shul's programming—daily services, kiddushes, b'nei mitzvahs, and everything in between. As his team gets the synagogue ready for the high holidays, we hope you'll join our staff in wishing Anthony continued success in acclimating to all things Beth El!
