The purpose of this congregation shall be to worship God in accordance with the faith of Judaism: to cultivate a love and understanding of the Jewish heritage; to foster fellowship in the Jewish community and to strengthen the bonds of loyalty with the Jewish people everywhere; to bring nearer the Sovereignty of God through acts of tikun olam. --Temple Beth El's Bylaws

PICNIC SHABBATS IN THE PARK
Fridays, August 6, September 3 5:30 pm Pre-Service Oneg Shabbat 6 pm Kabbalat Shabbat Service
With the good weather we like to celebrate Shabbat outdoors as much as possible (weather permitting). Bring your chairs or picnic blankets and enjoy a Kabbalat Shabbat service outside in the fresh air. We will meet at Wingra Park and start with a pre-service Oneg Shabbat at 5:30 pm. Services will immediately follow at 6 pm. Services are typically over around 7 pm and we hope many people will stay for a picnic dinner.
