Founded in 1958, we are an independent congregation with its roots in the Reform movement. Our basic philosophy is that a synagogue should be a house of worship, study, and of gathering. We try to be a place where all Jews feel welcome and comfortable. We learn from each other and grow together. We accept people where they are in their Jewish experience, and offer the opportunity to grow in the direction they choose. Together, we form a diverse family, bound together by our love of Judaism - and each other!
Come discover why Temple Beth Emet is like no other temple you have ever experienced! We would love to have you be part of our family!
Led by Rabbi Mark Sobel, our Shabbat services are specifically geared toward families. Everybody is welcome to join us each Friday at 7:30 p.m. throughout the year.

Havurahs
Havurah is a Hebrew word-meaning gathering or fellowship. It also means friends.
So, a Havurah is a gathering of friends. Our Havurahs are made up of our own Temple members. We join together to enhance our Jewish lives. We explore Jewish values while enjoying discussions, activities and events together.
Enrich your life, you can join an existing group or form a new one. You'll be happy you did. (Read about some of our Havaruhs)
