Here’s one way that you can help out a historic synagogue — and help yourself in the process!
Congregation Beth Elohim, a landmark synagogue in Park Slope, Brooklyn, is a finalist in the American Express Partners in Preservation Program. As finalists, they have a chance to win up to $250,000 to restore their beautiful stained glass windows in the main sanctuary.
They’re the only Jewish institution named as a finalist. They’re up against such prestigious institutions as the Guggenheim Museum and the Apollo Theater. To win, they need your votes. Here’s how you can help:
– Vote daily at http://pipvoting.nationaltrust.org/detail/10
– “Like” them on Facebook and share the link so others can do the same
– Encourage your family, friends and neighbors to vote for CBE
– Join them for “CBE Connects,” an open house event, on Sunday, May 6 from 2 to 5 p.m.
And to thank you for voting in person at CBE or tagging the CBE Facebook page in your status update, they’re raffling off a year’s free membership at CBE and an iPad. So vote early, and vote often!
