Temple Beth El was founded in 1954 by a small group of Jewish families. The Congregation moved into its present building in September of 1984. At present we have 257 family units with about 200 children in our religious school. We are affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation which emphasizes community and evolving Judaism.
