WELCOME
There is no better time to be a part of all that is happening at Temple Beth-El.
Beth-El is home for more than 2,300 men, women, and children. We are a place where we come to pray, celebrate, and learn. It is a place where minds are open, friends are made, tradition is honored, and change is welcome; a place of solace and sanctuary, reflection and rejoicing, song, and study. As we seek to meet the spiritual and educational needs of a diverse Jewish community in a caring, innovative Reform temple, we encourage participation and respect individual choices. We welcome you to learn more about us.
