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.  Our COVID policy requires unvaccinated members and guests to wear a mask.   Please contact us if you would like the Zoom code.

Passover

The first night of Passover is on Friday, April 15th.  There will be no Shabbat services at Temple that night to give  members an opportunity to have Seders with family.
