All Beth El members over the age of 65 are automatically members of Beth El Temple's Chai Society!
The Chai Society is a dynamic group with a thirst for knowledge, culture and community. We explore timely and relevant issues about law, opera, Israel, politics and Jewish culture with expert speakers and panelists.
We welcome Beth El members of all ages, as well as members of the greater Hartford community, to our programs. Watch the mail for our now familiar Chai Society blue postcard with specific topic and R.S.V.P. information.
