One of the oldest congregations in the Chicago area, Temple Beth-El has served its community since 1873. It provides a variety of worship services; some are geared toward families with children, others more traditional, mixing Hebrew and English readings and worship songs, as well as less formal minyan services. With a full calendar of services and special events, including retreats and camps for the young as well as educational and spiritual growth opportunities for the adults, Temple Beth-El offers an active congregational life to all who attend.
