Get Involved
We read in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of our Ancestors): “don’t separate yourself from the community.”
It is something we at Beth El take very seriously. As a large synagogue, we are able to offer many opportunities to meet people, make friends, get involved, give back.
Our Music and Arts program is unparalleled; few synagogues nationwide offer this level of professionalism. Our Men’s Club, Women’s Network and Chai Society keep you busy learning, doing, laughing and, of course, eating. Our kids are discovering Jewish essentials by exploring, celebrating, having fun and giving back.
Check out the links below, connect with the liaison, and become part of our Community You Can Believe In.

Women of the Bible with Rabbi Rachel Zerin
Wednesday, Nov 5th 6:00p to 7:15p
Join Rabbi Rachel Zerin and Women's Network for an engaging class designed to explore the often-overlooked stories of women in the Hebrew Bible.

Through discussion, learning, and shared reflection, this class offers a chance to connect more deeply with our tradition—and with one another.
