About Us | Membership

Prospective Member Info

Choosing a synagogue is an important endeavor. Each of us is looking for a spiritual “home,” a place where we feel comfortable and are part of a larger, supportive community. Temple Beth-El is such a place. Affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, Temple Beth-El is the largest conservative, egalitarian synagogue in the Hudson Valley. We are proud to offer a full range of programs for all age groups for Jewish and Intermarried couples. Some of the benefits of membership include:

• High Holiday Tickets
• Bar/Bat Mitzvah Lesson 
• Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah
• Adult Education Classes
• Shabbat Services
•  Religious School
•  Sisterhood
•  Social Action projects
•  Holiday Celebrations
•  Daily Minyan
•  Tots Programs
•  Youth Groups
•  Chavurah Groups
•  Judaica Book & Gift Shops
• Cemetery Plot

  Temple Beth-El does not turn anyone away because of an inability to pay. Our dues evaluation committee provides confidential review annually upon request. As an added incentive, new members are eligible for half-price dues if they join before the High Holidays. We even accept credit cards!
