Temple Beth El is a Conservative congregation of approximately 350 families located in Portland, Maine. We are affiliated with United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism of America and offer an open and inviting atmosphere through which each congregant can find an opportunity for individually meaningful religious expression.

Our mission is to be an embracing, supportive and vibrant community which observes Judaism in the Conservative tradition and which is devoted to the perpetuation of Jewish values and culture.  Temple Beth El honors the diversity of its members and is committed to their spiritual, intellectual and religious growth.
