Beth El Mission Statement

Beth El is a multifaceted, intergenerational community devoted to helping its members find joy and become better people through Torah and the traditions of the Jewish people. Our goal is to foster individual and collective spiritual and intellectual growth in a warm atmosphere of friendship and community—in a Jewish home in which all feel welcome to join and participate, and in which we care for each other and share prayer, lifecycle events, social action, and other experiences.

Since our establishment in 1930, Beth El Congregation has been a home for Phoenix’s Jewish community. If you grew up in a Conservative synagogue, you’ll find Beth El’s ritual very familiar, and if you didn’t; we look forward to learning and growing together as we celebrate the Jewish year.
If you are a member you:
1. Have a place to go when you need company, friends, and community.
2. Have a place to participate in Jewish ritual and programming.
3. Have a support system of clergy and staff who will cater to your needs as pertaining to your synagogue
experience.

We invite all who wish to become members of Beth El for the first time to join with a contribution of $540 for their first year and guarantee that all who wish to be a part of Beth El will be welcome and able to join regardless of financial ability.
To sustain our home, we ask for additional contributions to our building fund and security fund. You’ll find these
recommended donation opportunities at the end of this application.

The Mitzvah of being a Golden Giver

Our Golden Givers play a critical role in helping Beth El Congregation be a spiritual home for all who desire access to Judaism. It is because of the elevated membership and High Holiday appeal generosity of our Golden Givers that Beth El is able to offer relevant and innovative programming to ensure a strong Jewish future. Golden givers receive a recognition plaque on our Jerusalem Wall, reserved seats for High Holidays, and High Holiday honors.

What do you like to do for fun?

We know that you love to do things in your free time, and we’d love to connect you with other members who enjoy those same things, as well as make sure you know about all the programming pertaining to your interests.
For those more abstract learners: “If you had an 8th day of the week that no one else knew about, what would you do?”

Beth El is your hub for Judaism in Phoenix, we offer opportunities for personal learning and growth. Please check those that interest you, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on these opportunities as they come around in our calendar.

Together, the membership of Beth El not only supports the institution financially, but also with precious volunteer time. We are blessed with many ritual, front desk volunteers, proofreaders, and valuable volunteers who help Beth El to be a first-class organization in the Phoenix Jewish Community.

Are there any Yahrzeits you would like to record?
