Beth El is a friendly congregation, welcoming newcomers to join in services, ask questions, and explore our wide range of activities.

For teens, our Youth Group (called BERTY for Beth El Reform Temple Youth Group) has big plans for the coming year for both social and community activities. For adults, we offer opportunities to study together, enjoy companionship in Sisterhood, Men’s Group, Adult Education, Torah Study, and Book Club, and enhance our broader community through valuable and varied service projects. Also popular: Senior Shmooze meets on the first Thursday of the month for discussions on everything from politics to books to music.

Our Aleph-Bet Preschool, now entering its third successful year, welcomes children aged 3 through 5 on Sunday mornings for a one-hour class. Designed to introduce young children to Jewish concepts, Hebrew prayers and words, Bible stories and holiday rituals, the program will reach these little ones through music, song and stories.

NEW!  This September, we introduced M & M Shabbat (Munchkins and Mishpacha) on the first Friday of every month at 6:30 pm.  Join us for a brief, child-oriented Shabbat service, with a challah-and-juice oneg to follow.  Everyone is welcome! 

Ladies Night Out, a gathering open to all synagogue women, meets at an area restaurant one Monday night each month. A purely social function, this evening outing encourages women of all ages and backgrounds to get to know each other better.

Music, music, and more music. We are blessed with a tapestry of musical styles to enrich our worship. Anita Thornton has been gracing our services from time to time with her uplifting style (voice and guitar). The popular Alternative Music Group, made up of our own congregants, leads us in musical prayer at select services. And our beloved Cantor Lloyd Robb will provide his spiritual leadership periodically.

See the calendar for service times. And join us at 520 Fairmont Avenue, Winchester, Virginia 22601.
