Congregation Beth El provides an innovative array of Family Programs designed to bring together parents, grandparents and children in the pursuit of Jewish knowledge. Whether your family is headed by two parents or a single parent, an intermarried couple or a same sex couple, the goal is the same – to encourage your participation and enrich your lives with learning, warmth and friendship.

Some activities are age specific and others are designed for the entire Beth El community. If you have questions or are interested in volunteering to help with any of these programs or have ideas for new programs, please contact our co-chairs Laurie Tarkan or Adam Licht.
