Temple Beth-El prides itself as an inclusive community for all ages. Our Youth Groups are no exception. In fact, over the past few years we have expanded this part of temple life for our members’ children.
Most importantly, these groups provide a place where our temple youth can come to form friendships with their temple peers and grow their Jewish identity through a variety of social action and spiritual opportunities. And each Youth Group has its own parental advisors to oversee and closely supervise the programs.
We are very proud of our Youth Groups. Check us out!!
