“The Family is the Whole Life and Spirit of a Jew”

S.J. Abromwich

Family Education at Beth El Temple Center strives to establish a partnership between the home and school. We know that the home is the center of Jewish life, with parents as the primary Jewish teachers and role models for their children. With that in mind, we seek to empower and support families with the resources, skills, and knowledge that will help them as they journey on the lifelong process of Jewish living and learning. Our hope is that our Family Education programming will provide families with the necessary skills needed to create vibrant Jewish homes and to comfortably participate in the Jewish community.

At Beth El Temple Center we are a welcoming and inclusive community of families, each one unique, striving to form or deepen their relationship to Judaism. We offer a diverse range of learning and celebration experiences that will greet you with warmth, energy, and creativity, and continue to meet you where you are on your Jewish journey. Our aim is to meet your particular needs, interests, and various learning levels.

Please feel free to contact me to learn more about our Family Education programs. I look forward to celebrating and learning together.
