Flag outside Temple building
Temple Beth Israel proudly displays our American flag on our front lawn. We have recently been informed by Bob Gordon that by not having a light shine on the flag at night, we are in violation of the rules for displaying the flag. We received a bid for the work of installing a light and it comes to approximately $300. We are asking your help so that we can continue to proudly display our flag in compliance with the rules. Please send a contribution to the Temple office if you can help with this effort.
Thanks, Nancy
