Welcome to Temple Beth El – Jefferson City

Our historic building was constructed in 1883 and is the oldest synagogue west of the Mississippi in continuous use.

Shabbat Services are held every Friday night at 7:30 and visitors are always welcome. Our congregation includes 25+ families, with members of all ages. Temple Beth El is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism.

We are open for in-person Shabbat Services on Friday nights, and also offer a Zoom option.    Please contact us if you would like the Zoom code.

The Temple Beth El Congregation is pleased to welcome back Rabbi Aria Caligiuri to lead our High Holiday services in October. Guests are welcome for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Services both in person and on Zoom.
