Congregation Beth El, located in South Orange, New Jersey, is an inclusive, egalitarian community and school, drawing members from surrounding towns.
We are a dynamic egalitarian Conservative synagogue with a strong commitment to inspiring learning, engaging worship and pursuing social justice. We offer a religious school and Preschool in addition to year-round worship and programs. Beth El is a member of the Big Tent Judaism Coalition of inclusive communities, and we welcome people of all ages, genders and backgrounds to join us on our journey -- learned or novice; born Jewish, Jew-by-choice or non-Jewish living Jewishly; single or partnered; gay or straight. We strive to create a Makom Kadosh -- a holy space -- in which to seek God, connection and community.
