If you or your spouse are age 55 or older, you are automatically a member of Beth El Temple's Chai Society!

The Chai Society is a dynamic group with a thirst for knowledge, culture and community. We explore timely and relevant issues about law, opera, Israel, politics and Jewish culture with expert speakers and panelists.

We welcome Beth El members of all ages, as well as members of the greater Hartford community, to our programs. Watch the mail for our now familiar Chai Society blue postcard with specific topic and R.S.V.P. information.

The Chai Society is an affiliate of Hazak, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism's organization for adults 55 and older.

For more information about Chai Society, please call the Beth El office at (860) 233-9696.
