Ive been a part of the Temple Beth El family since I was in early childhood. Now, I get the pleasure of seeing my son be a part of this incredible community. He has grown so much during his time at Beth El from learning new songs to developing his fine motor skills. The teachers and administrators go above and beyond to make him feel loved and supported. Nothing brings me more joy then spending the Jewish holidays with my son and my parents who are also lifelong supporters and community members of this amazing place. We also were fortunate enough to have Rabbi Dan host a virtual bris for our son during covid. We love our Temple Beth El family and are so grateful to be a part of this amazing community!

We have been a part of this temple family since 2016. The clergy is amazing, down to earth, and easy to reach. All the staff are helpful and so friendly. The campus is beautiful and has grown so much since we first joined. Even through Covid lockdown, the virtual services still kept us connected, especially when we were able to do our daughter's naming via Zoom.Now as more events return, we are able to reconnect with our temple family and our daughter loves going to Tot Shabbats.

As an active and longtime member of Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, I am eager to spread the word about this wonderful temple community to people everywhere. There are many reasons why I am a Temple Beth El member. First and foremost, this is a congregation where people matter. From the moment you enter the beautiful Boca Raton campus, you feel a sense of warmth and friendliness from Temple Beth El's outstanding clergy, administrative staff, and from temple members.As a Reform congregation, Temple Beth El offers inspiring Friday night Shabbat services led by truly caring and learned rabbis and musically gifted cantors. In addition to Shabbat service and celebrations, there are numerous opportunities for Jewish ritual and holiday observances. Programmatically Temple Beth offers many learning opportunities -- be it classes for adults seeking advanced knowledge or Temple Beth El's unparalleled religious school program for preschoolers all the way through high school seniors.I admire Temple Beth for its commitment to reaching out to those in need in the surrounding community here in Boca Raton and in Israel.Temple Beth El's history of social justice and its legacy of "repairing the world," has given me a feeling of pride in my temple and its members. It is truly the center of my life here in Boca Raton.If you are looking to join a synagogue that attracts interesting and kind-hearted people, is home to wonderful clergy, and that offers a myriad of great programs, leadership opportunities, clubs to participate in, and a sacred space where the Sabbath and holidays can be ushered in, and where ritual observances can take place, then Temple Beth El is where you need to visit. I think you will share my feelings exactly once you have been here to visit.

When in life can you find a new home that offers you social and social action, spiritual/ religion and comedic relief, history and current insight, friendships and free therapy? This is My Temple. Not just an outstanding building with Judaic splendor, but a home encompassing the needs of the Jewish Reform Community. It is no wonder Rabbis from all over the country that hear their congregants are moving to South Florida say go see Temple Beth El and you will be delighted. Come and see for yourself. I cherish my 5 years and all it has provided! Happy member, Cary Nation

I'm not "that" religious.... what ever "that" means. I grew up in the five towns, Long Island. I went to Temple Beth El in Cedarhurst, NY where I was Bar Mitzvah'. So, when I moved to Boca Raton and wanted to find the best place to provide a Jewish education for my family, Temple Beth El seemed like the best choice, and what a great choice it was! The temple provided a loving, non-judgmental, environment that gave me a feeling of care and inclusion.Fast forward 27 years, and I still feel the same way. TBE Boca staff goes the extra mile explaining the history and interpretation of Torah every Shabbat, every holiday, and every day in between. TBE Boca makes Jewish worship fun and enjoyable. Now with services on Zoom, I recommend watching the services to my Christian friends, as well. The reason... TBE Boca has enough love for an entire community, even if you're not "that" religious.

I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful temple. Besides the services and Religious school which are both wonderful, during this time of economic disaster, they reached out to ME to see if they might be able to help as I am a single mom and small business owner. Can't wait for my son's Bar Mitzvah in 2022!!

Temple Beth El is Judaism in action, where its beautiful Commandments, rituals and traditions are actualized to make the world a better place. The clergy and administration are dedicated to nourishing every aspect of your life, from religious observance to education to fostering new friendships.

We love Temple Beth El. The services are very uplifting, and every time, the Rabbis make us laugh about something. The songs are in Hebrew, so you feel you are truly in Synagogue.And both Cantors have amazing voices. When we miss a Friday, we feel like something is missing in our week. We are "older adults", but there is something for everyone. Our grandchildren even love to come and participate in walking with the Torahs, and breaking the Challah.

A little after we moved to Boca Raton, we decided to go "Temple Shopping", and attended services at different synagogues in the area. Many of them were beautiful and welcoming, however, TBE, besides that, felt just right. There was something about everything and everyone that was telling us that TBE was the place where we'd continue our spiritual experience for our family. Of course we joined and the rest is history, and today we've been members for probably almost 20 years and TBE has been next to us in good and not so great times. And the one thing we like the most? The people: both clergy, staff, volunteers and other members are the best. And if we had to choose a Temple again, we'd be choosing the same.

Temple Beth El provides so many opportunities to share religious, family, and community happenings for all ages and styles. I have been blessed to have my family participate in Shabbat services, preschool, holidays, religious school, B'nai Mitzvah, and ongoing social action for three decades. TBE has been there in good times and times of need. The clergy and staff as well as all the wonderful friends I've made there, have provided years of Jewish education, community, and support. Thank you TBE! Looking forward to the next decade.
