To the editor:

On behalf of the Beverly High School Class of 2010, we would like to publicly thank Elaine Israelsohn and the congregation of Temple B’Nai Abraham for their tremendous generosity and use of space. 

Every year, through Mrs. Israelson, the temple is offered as a great space for the senior class to hold its annual baccalaureate, which is an important part of their senior week of activities and celebrations. 

Mrs. Israelsohn and members of the temple’s congregation are most welcoming and accommodating, offering us whatever is needed, donating their time, and providing a delicious reception. They truly embody what giving back to the community means and, by so doing, convey the pride that is felt by the Beverly community for the great achievements and accomplishments of each graduating class. 

It truly is a special night!
