Beth El offers a variety of different services and worship-related activities. A traditional service is held each Shabbat morning from 9:30 a.m. until noon. We are an egalitarian congregation and invite broad participation. Congregants frequently read Torah and, when there is no Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Haftarah.
Learn more about our different service offerings here.
