Beth El Temple was founded by people who dreamed of creating compelling, meaningful ways for members to connect richly with Judaism and with each other. Today, those goals are still in the forefront of everything we do.
We do it through content: programs that engage the head, the heart, the spirit and even the funny bone.
We do it through connection: people coming together to be with each other, to be like that friendly next d’or (generation) neighbor.
We do it through credibility: Beth El is considered one of the nation’s premier synagogues. Our rabbis and cantor are frequently recognized and honored, and many groups within the synagogue have won awards for their work.
We do it through collaboration: we actively partner on projects with many Jewish agencies and organizations.
All of this is possible BECAUSE kind and generous people like you said “YES” I want these dreams to continue for generations to come.
All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Sunday, Aug 31st 12:00p to 4:00p
Back by popular demand! Join the Men’s Club at Dunkin’ Donuts Park to see the Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies affiliate) play the Portland Sea Dogs (the Boston Red Sox minor league affiliate)! Our seats, in the Hartford Terrace section along the first-base side, are in a shaded, private section. Your ticket will allow you free exclusive access to the Yard Goats Club, an air conditioned indoor section with great views of the game, comfortable seating, and higher-end food and liquor options not available at the general concession stands. And yes, fries, hot dogs, and beer are also available there. You can go to this private section when you want to take a break from your field seats, get refreshments, and schmooze with others. Our group will be recognized at the game. There will be a shout out for the Beth El Men's Club! One of us will get to throw out a first pitch! There may be other surprises! Kids run the bases after the game! Tickets are limited, so you are urged to put in your RSVP as soon as possible. You may request to be seated with others who are placing their RSVP separately. -
