Welcome to Temple Beth El – Jefferson City

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.
