Lifecycle Events

In the course of our lives we experience joys and sorrows. The Beth El community will celebrate with you in happy times and support you in sad times. The Rabbis and the professional staff are here to help will all aspects of lifecycle events.

Planning an Event at Beth El

Let Beth El be your special place for special gatherings. Our modern, air-conditioned, Kosher facility can accommodate intimate events and large functions in an array of spacious rooms of all sizes. Our on-site parking and handicapped accessible building make Beth El an ideal destination for lifecycle celebrations and community events. Function rooms include:

  • Kessler Hall
    Elegant décor welcomes receptions of 250 seated guests including a dance floor. For events not requiring the dance floor, the room comfortably seats 320 for a luncheon or dinner. It can be an auditorium style meeting space for 425.
     
  • East Wing
    Featuring a full wall of windows on one side of the room, this space seats 220 guests in a bright, airy setting. The room can be subdivided for a smaller function, meeting or class.
     
  • Sanctuary Hall
    Often used for cocktail hours or small dinners, this room has a floor to ceiling view of the ceremonial court and gardens just outside its doors. 150 can be seated for a meal. This is also a comfortable venue for cocktail parties up to 185 (when seating is not required for everyone). Doors open to the ceremonial court which is available for use in the warm weather months.
     
  • Community Room
    A fireplace makes this room an intimate space for events of up to 100 guests seated for a meal or 130 for a meeting or reception.

Our newly renovated Sanctuary seats 590 and is available from time to time to community organizations for a lecture or other public program.

Our Chapel offers an intimate setting for a small wedding or other life cycle event, seating up to 125.

Whatever the occasion, Beth El’s experienced staff looks forward to assisting you with the details of planning your important event. Please call our Executive Director at 233-9696.
