NSSBE @ Home

Welcome to NSSBE@Home — our way of bringing the best of what NSS Beth El offers to our families as we transition to a virtual community during this period. We are fortunate to have dedicated staff and lay leaders who are working around the clock to provide both content and pathways for connection. Be sure to “Like” and “Follow” our Facebook page in order to be notified of our Live events and updates!

Our calendar will be updated each week. Please check back often for the most current offerings.

NOTES ABOUT ZOOM: Each event via Zoom has a unique Meeting ID and Link. Please click the link next to the specific event you wish to join. Check back frequently as new events are added! You will have to download the Zoom browser extension or app and set up a free account (or log in with Facebook) the first time you join a Zoom meeting. The Google Chrome browser does not work well with Zoom, per our experience.

If you prefer to join Zoom meetings and classes over the phone: call (312) 626-6799, and enter the meeting number, followed by #. The meeting number is in parentheses after each event (Ex: 123-456-789).
