Tisha b’Av—the 9th day of the month of Av is a fast day and a
day of mourning that commemorates the many tragedies that
have befallen the Jewish people, many of which have occurred
on the ninth of Av. These include the destruction of the first
and second Temples, as well as the expulsion of the Jews from
Spain in 1492 and from England in 1290.

A Tribute to Bill (Willy) Diamond
Beth El recently lost one of its past exceptional congregants. Most of today's members
probably won't recognize his name: Bill (Willy) Diamond, but he was a towering master
cabinet maker and artist. He died at age 98, leaving our original synagogue with
memorable examples of his craft in wood.
There was the giant sized Hanukiah as we entered Beth El's lobby, and on the right hand
side was a moving holocaust memorial called "Zachor" (remember).
When it was time to daven, all of our prayer books were housed in handsome cabinets as were all of the
talitot in equally gorgeous ones. In addition he made the Torah holders, still used daily in our chapel for
all minyans. Happiest of all, our brides are married under the chuppah that his gifted hands created.
Willy was an ardent Zionist all his life, having made aliyah with his equally exceptional wife,
Teddy, when the State of Israel was but three years old. Although illness brought them back to America,
it was our good fortune to have them and their children as members of the Beth El family for many
decades.
It is with a sad heart that we note the passing of this quiet, modest man as we wish his widow and all of
their family sincere condolences from the entire Beth El family.

The Jewish Federation's food pantry at KleinLife in
Northeast Philadelphia is currently seeking
volunteers on select Fridays from 10am-1pm as it
expands its hours to serve more clients. The Choice
Food Pantry at KleinLife features an innovative
model where the clients get to choose what food
they receive (rather than a pre-packaged box) and
use a touchscreen to make their selection. Anyone
interested in volunteering can email Jeremy Heller
directly at mail@jeremyheller.com.
No one really expects the
need of having to buy
cemetery plots. It is a
wonderful benefit of belonging
to Congregation Beth El of
Yardley. There is no better
time to buy than the present
time, before you have the
need. We want to help you
make the choice before the
emotional time after a death.
Many Funeral directors
encourage the pre-need
arrangements of all of the aspects of the funeral,
burial, and monuments.
The Cemetery Committee can offer you the time to
select a plot at the cemetery or just by reviewing our
plot maps and photographs. King David Memorial
Park is located in Bensalem, PA. Beth El has over
400 plots in section R. Many are already owned and
reserved. In 2013 the Board of Directors approved
the price of $1500 per plot. This is far below the
price for the general public making a request at King
David. A Family Gravesite includes four plots and
costs $6000. These charges are transacted with the
synagogue only and you may not deal with King
David or other congregants directly for the purchase
or sale of any plots in Section R. When a plot is paid
in full the owner is granted the rights of sepulcher
and these rights are shared with their heirs even if
they are not members. Beth El does not sell plots to
non-members of the congregation. In the event of an
owner moving or not needing their plots, they may
return their papers for a refund less 10% of the
purchase price. The price of the plot does not
include any services, openings, burial, vault, or
monument charges.
For more information please call Michael Weinberg,
Cemetery Committee Chairman @215-321-1312

perpetuity. Each year you will receive a notice of the date of the yahrzeit, it will be announced during
Shabbat services, and the plaque will be lit in memory of your loved one for a full month. The cost is
