Whether you are coming for a lecture, family program, Jewish holiday celebration, b-mitzvah, funeral, wedding, or worship service; whether you are visiting from near or far, welcome! We hope you enjoy your visit.
On the right, past the security desk, is our main office; come on in and say hello to our staff!
All of our religious services, including daily minyan and our lay-led services, and most of our programs are open to everyone.
If you come to the Shabbat morning service: Come in, introduce yourself to one of our friendly ushers when you arrive. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have as well as offer helpful tidbits regarding Jewish tradition and culture or Beth El practices. Don’t forget to stop by the new hospitality table during Shabbat kiddush to meet and talk to board members, clergy, and other congregants.
