  Shabbat evenig services are held Fridays at 7:30 PM. Family Night service is at 6:00 PM and is held the second Friday of each month. It is a briefer service designed for families with young children. Baby sitting is provided.
  Because lay participation is an important part of our worship at Temple Beth El, members are invited to participate in services by ushering, reciting candle blessings or blessing the Torah, reading Haftarah and serving as Oneg Shabbat hosts. These opportunities for participation are not only honors but offer members a chance to get to know other congregants. If you are uncomfotable fulfilling one or more of these roles, please let us know. We will be happy to help you find another function to preform.
