Our size is indeed our strength, and as a vibrant and diverse community you have a wide range of opportunities to engage in Jewish life. For all ages and interests, backgrounds and experiences, meaningful connections are waiting for you here at Beth El Temple.
We are fortunate to have a strong professional staff dedicated to helping each person – no matter the age or stage in life – have experiences that are personally fulfilling. Our professionals work together with many dedicated volunteers to continually bring new and exciting ideas to life. Indeed, our volunteers are our lifeblood. Whatever your area of interest, you’ll find many ways to get involved.
Because we are a diverse congregation, we offer diverse levels of membership. You will find special rates for young singles, young couples, young families, households with a single parent, interfaith families, and seniors, along with a special new-member discount. We work closely with each and every family to ensure that your financial needs are well balanced with the needs of our synagogue. We welcome everyone to come and pray, participate, connect and belong to our Beth El community.
