Temple Beth El’s Congregation is as young and thriving as it is seasoned and rooted in history.  More than 60 years since our inception, we are proud to have a number of founders and their children still active in our membership.  Our Hebrew School, known for its commitment to high quality Jewish education, is a draw to school age families, while many families with young children have joined Temple Beth El after participating in the Kol Yeladim program run by our Early Childhood Committee.  We have a significant number of empty nesters among our Congregation, many of whom find an increased ability

All families, where one of the individuals is Jewish, are welcome to become members of Temple Beth El.  Our Congregation affirms the equal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people and welcomes all among our membership.  Finally, Temple Beth El's membership benefits from the energy of young members, single and without children, who have chosen to buck the national trend and make synagogue participation a central part of their spiritual and social lives.
