Membership

Beth El is a Conservative Congregation affiliated with United Synagogue. We provide a wide range of activities to meet the spiritual, educational and social needs of our members. It is a place for spiritual reflection, to acquire deeper knowledge and a place to make new friends. Our warmth and “ruach” create a sharing of ideas, life cycle events, new friendships and Havurot. We are a traditional, egalitarian and innovative congregation.

Membership enriches a Jewish family with a sense of purpose and meaning. We have over a 75 year history of tradition, success and excellence. The quality of our schools, the diversity of our membership, adult education, our leadership in the Jewish community, the professionalism of our leaders and staff, our warm congregation and our creative programs are Beth El’s greatest strengths.

Some of our events have included Sukkot Under the Stars, Hanuka Celebrations, an Israeli Art Festival, Community-wide concerts, theatre parties, Silent Auctions, Purim Carnival, Shabbat and Holiday Dinners, Havdala programs, picnics and Scholar-in-Residence Programs. In addition, we offer adult education opportunities.

Our Social Action projects have included the Westside Food Bank, Annual Blood Drive, Bone Marrow Drive, on-going food collections for the homeless, a Hanuka toy drive through our schools, Yom Hashoa Candle project, a High Holiday & Passover Food Drive, and our “Blanket Boosters”, a group of women who crochet blankets for needy families. We also participate in the Jewish Community’s Annual Mitzvah Day and support many community-wide Jewish events and programs throughout the year.

Friday evening services begin at 5:45 p.m. The Shabbat morning service begins at 9:00 a.m. We read the Torah according the triennial cycle. Once a month there is a service for Preschool – 2nd grade students called Mishpaha Minyan and Minyan Noar for 3rd – 8th grade students is held twice a month during the school year. We hold daily minyan each morning and evening. The High Holy Day services are held on our campus and include the main service, a Preschool service and a Family Service. Childcare is available on Shabbat and holidays.

Beth El has become the home for a community-wide senior program, sponsored by the Jewish Family & Children’s Services. The group meets daily on our campus from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Beth El offers a variety of committees and volunteer opportunities. We welcome prospective members to visit our campus. Our professional staff and volunteers will be happy to answer any of your questions.
