Young Families

Young Families
Jewish tradition is family centered. At Temple Beth-El we welcome young families and hope that you will come to view your fellow congregants as an extension of your own Jewish family. To help you find your place at Temple Beth-El we offer several programs for families with young children.

Shabbat Baby-sitting
Every Shabbat there is free baby-sitting available during services. Our caring baby-sitters provide a safe space and quality care to your child. With this peace of mind you can enjoy your prayer experience more fully.
