Beth El Temple was founded by people who dreamed of creating compelling, meaningful ways for members to connect richly with Judaism and with each other. Today, those goals are still in the forefront of everything we do.
We do it through content: programs that engage the head, the heart, the spirit and even the funny bone.
We do it through connection: people coming together to be with each other, to be like that friendly next d’or (generation) neighbor.
We do it through credibility: Beth El is considered one of the nation’s premier synagogues. Our rabbis and cantor are frequently recognized and honored, and many groups within the synagogue have won awards for their work.
We do it through collaboration: we actively partner on projects with many Jewish agencies and organizations.
All of this is possible BECAUSE kind and generous people like you said “YES” I want these dreams to continue for generations to come.
