Welcome!

We want to build a community based on inclusiveness, where everyone is welcome regardless of age, marital status, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, Jew-by-choice, or Jew-by-birth. When Temple Beth El was founded in 1947, its members dedicated themselves to the creation of a home for living Judaism – a place where newcomers feel welcome, where Jewish ideals are made real, and where education is the key that unlocks the door to a lifetime of Jewish fulfillment and commitment. We are proud of this tradition and hope that your association with us will be spiritually and emotionally satisfying.

On Sunday, May 18th at Noon, we will gather for our annual Lag B’Omer picnic, immediately followed by the congregational meeting. Please plan to attend so that we can pass the annual budget, vote to accept a new board, and – best of all – enjoy each other’s company!  If you need copies of the slate of officers, proposed budget or am absentee ballot, please contact the temple office at (661) 322-7607 or send an email to TBE Office. 

At Temple Beth El, we are always ready to celebrate! 

Now you can let everybody know that you are ready to celebrate as well AND help support TBE at the same time.  WIN-WIN!  Follow this link to order your t-shirts, pullover or zip hoodies in children and adult sizes.

Lifecycle Rituals

Terms like "bar mitzvah," "bet mitzvah," and "bat mitzvah" typically evoke images of teens reading from the Torah and formally taking their place within the Jewish community. But many Reform congregations offer adult b'nei mitzvah classes, enabling people to participate in this ritual later in life.
