We seek to provide engaging and thought-provoking Jewish learning experiences that deepen our understanding of Judaism, our commitment to Jewish education, our love of Torah and sacred texts, our relationship with God, and all of the various paths that lead us towards creating a K'hilah K'dushah, a holy and sacred community of learned Jews. We take great pride in the various educational opportunities that are provided at Temple Beth El and we hope you will join us in engaging in a life-long process of Jewish learning – no matter where you are along that journey!
Our goal is to keep our community as connected as possible to the Jewish world, both within the synagogue walls and outside of them. Jewish education is an integral part of our own Jewish self-identity and the self-identity of our children. As Reform Jews, we have a responsibility to become as learned as possible, in order to make choices in our lives that reflect our own system of beliefs and our core Jewish values.
We are very excited about all the possibilities and educational opportunities that are offered at Temple Beth El.
