The Interfaith and
Outreach Committee of Temple Beth El supports the large numbers of
interfaith families and Jews-by-choice within our community, and
affirms the important role they play in Temple life.
Our philosophy of inclusion and self-determination reflects the
philosophy of our Temple and the Reform movement. Every individual
and every family has to find their own path to, and definition of a
religious life. At this Temple, you will find others who are also
finding their own way.
