Timeline Announced!

As of today, the main entrance is still open and functioning as usual. The new fencing has closed off the circular drive and center walkway. The entrance is still accessible from the parking lot via the sidewalk alongthe circular drive. Over the next few weeks, many things will be happening.

Sunday, August 12 Phase I
  • Work on the new walkway has begun and the playground fencing will be moved to allow access to the new entrance.
  • The ECC and BERS offices are scheduled to move on Friday, August 17th to rooms 109/110. This move will also include Shirley Yaffa and Margie Blum. The ECC offices will be open, ut the other administrative offices will be closed for the day.
  • A wall will be put up outside of the Hazzan's office, blocking off the front of the building.
  • Construction of a new hallway and entrance into the Beit Midrash will begin immediately after the move on August 17th.
  • The phone system will continue to work.
  • Procedures have been put in place to ensure the safety of the children. On Monday August 20, 2007 we will begin using the new clearly marked entrance. A new security door will be created inside the 100 wing to maintain the same level of security we currently have for our ECC and BERS children.

Thursday, August 23rd Phase II

  • Trailers will be located on the grounds near the BERS playground and will house offices for Rabbi Krupnick, Rabbi Arnowitz, Shari Smith, Hanina Ruttenberg, bookkeeping (Pat and Laura) and Margie Blum.

All of these changes will be occurring over the next few weeks so that daycare, preschool and religious school can begin in September without delay or interruption. Things are really happening at Beth El! Your patience and support during the transition period is greatly appreciated.
