Wedding
Celebrate your wedding day at Beth El Temple. This joyous occasion can be held in our beautiful Sanctuary with decorative Judaica by renowned sculptor Ludwig Wolpert, or share a more intimate ceremony in our smaller, more modern chapel. Our attractive array of reception room options can be configured to ensure that yours is the wedding of your dreams. From the bridal room to the hand embroidered Chuppah (wedding canopy), we work with you to make every detail of your special event memorable.
Within our modern, climate controlled, Kosher facility we can accommodate intimate celebrations or large functions. Free on-site parking, handicapped accessibility, and our central location make Beth El Temple an ideal destination for your wedding ceremony and reception.
In keeping with the principles of Conservative Judaism, we embrace gay and lesbian Jews and support their right to marry.
It's not just about the wedding -- we are also happy to host an Aufruf (pre-wedding Torah honor) for the bride and groom. In the case where one partner is not Jewish, but the Jewish partner would like to mark this transition in his or her life, our rabbis will work with you to offer an appropriate blessing for this significant moment.
For more information, please contact our Executive Director at (860) 233-9696.

MarMarch 3 , 2021America's Jewish Women: An Evening with Pamela Nadell
Wednesday, Mar 3rd 8:00p to 9:00p
Professor Pamela Nadell will celebrate Women’s History Month with us and share insights from her recent book, "America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today," which won the 2019 National Jewish Book Award—Everett Family Foundation Jewish Book of the Year. Weaving together stories from the colonial era to the present, Nadell shows two threads binding the nation's Jewish women: a strong sense of self and a resolute commitment to making the world a better place. Nadell holds the Patrick Clendenen Chair in Women's and Gender History at American University where she directs the Jewish Studies Program and received the university's highest award, Scholar/Teacher of the Year.
