2. Beth El’s Got Talent. Temple Beth El West Palm Beach will hold a Beth El’s Got Talent, at 3 p.m., Sunday, April 29.
There are still a few openings for anyone in the community who would like to participate, said Alan Jacobson, producer of the event. “We’re looking to pattern it after the popular TV show America’s Got Talent, with acts like singing and dancing,” Jacobson said.
The free program, open to the public, will be held in the Yeckes Chapel on the Temple Beth El campus, 2815 N. Flagler Drive. To participate, email Jacobson at alan@donohuerealestate.com. For reservations or information, call the temple office at 561-833-0339 or visit www.bethelwpb.com.
