It's hard to believe that Rabbi Clopper has been at

Temple Beth El for 18 years! Even though our family

has moved away, we are are still in contact, and the

Temple, as well as the Suffolk Jewish community,

are in our hearts. Rabbi Clopper has been a source of

comfort, stability and the "glue" of the community,

always there for everyone, member of the Temple or not.

We thank you for your tremendous leadership

and hope that you will be at the helm of the

community for many more years to come.

 

 

Congratulations to Rabbi Jeff

and the Tech Team!

 

We celebrate Rabbi Jeff's 18 years of leadership

and recognize our hard-working Tech Team.

 

 

Mazel Tov Rabbi Jeff.  Thank you for your years

of kindness, love, acceptance and grace.

You are the embodiment of all that a Rabbi should be

and how lucky we are to have you as our teacher.

And to our Tech team
Thank you, especially during these challenging times,

for keeping our Temple community connected.

You have been a lifeline to many and a blessing to us all.
 

Rabban Gamliel, the son of Rabbi Yehudah Ha-Nasi said,

"... Let all who work with the congregation do so for the sake

of Heaven; the merit of their ancestors will sustain them

and, as a result, their righteousness will remain forever."

As for you (God says), "I will credit you with a great reward,

as if you had accomplished it all."-Pirke Avot 2:2

 

Mazel Tov to our righteous Rabbi Jeff

and accomplished Tech Team

Howard, Evan, Jason, Jacob, Lisa & Ed

 

 

It sure seems like yesterday

that we were welcomed

to Huntington and Temple Beth El

by Rabbi Clopper and this Congregation

that we are so thrilled to be a part of.

 

Congratulations Rabbi Clopper

on 18 years of making it so special!

In a time where anything and everything had an opportunity to go in a negative direction due to these unprecedented and unpredictable times, you were there to help me through it.
