Founded in 1913 and dedicated to the affirmation of Judaism as a dynamic and motivating force in the lives of our people, Temple Beth El exemplifies the inspiration derived from the best of our Jewish tradition. As a Conservative congregation, Temple Beth El has remained in the mainstream of modern Judaism. Starting from a strong base and a long tradition, we continue to search for new ways to express ourselves and our heritage that will add meaning and depth to our lives.
At Temple Beth El, we incorporate the guidance of the prophet Micah, to do justice, love, kindess, and walk humbly with G-d, into all aspects of the synagogue.
As an egalitarian Conservative congregation, we are the foundation to Jewish Life. We:
Cultivate, develop and sustain Judaism and Jewish living;
Foster meaningful relationships with G-d throughout the years of one's life;
Help people celebrate life and meet its challenges;
Enhance spirituality through a multitude of expressions including the arts and culture;
Welcome all Jews and their families in all their diversity;
Value feelings of kinship, a sense of belonging and the need of people to find their place in Jewish life;
Educate children, families, and adults in ways that nurture and support their efforts to find meaning in their lives;
Transmit our values, beliefs and traditions to the next generation;
Provide individuals and families opportunities for invovlement in community service and social action;
Partner with others who support our vision, mission, values and goals;
Connect with Jews throughout time.
We support all these values and beliefs with sound fiscal management.
