Welcome to Temple Beth-El!

At Temple Beth-El of Great Neck, belonging begins with connection.

We are a vibrant Reform Jewish community where people join together to worship, learn, celebrate, build friendships, care for one another and make a difference.

Our congregation includes people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, family structures and Jewish journeys. Rooted in our core values of Torah (lifelong learning), Avodah (spirituality), G’milut Chasadim (caring and social action), Kehillah (community) and Israel (the land of the Jewish people), we welcome you to find your own meaningful way to be a part of our temple family.

Belong. Connect. Grow.

Membership at Temple Beth-El means having a Jewish community to call your own—a place to celebrate, learn, build meaningful relationships and find connection at every stage of life.

Whether you show up for Shabbat, study, cultural events, holidays, volunteering or simply to be with others, you can make Temple Beth-El your own in many ways.

Show up as you are, find opportunities that are significant for you and know that your presence matters here.
