Online Temple Beth Am Web Page Survey

Weíre asking all of you to contribute your thoughts to the TBA Home Page. Our hope is to make it easy-to-use, friendly, helpful, full of correct information and taking the staffís time to update no more than 20-30 minutes a day.

A question: what should be a main button (that you click to go to a page that tells you more, and so on) and what should be a secondary button? For example, should we put ìHealing Serviceî under Rabbi or under Religious Practices Committee? Should we have ìTorah Studyî under Adult Education or under Services? What you have in front of you is a Draft, and

all your ideas and suggestions are wanted. Pay particular attention to the numbers that apply to you. [Details on page 4.}
