Welcome to Temple Beth-El

In the heart of Richmond’s stunning and historic Museum District, Temple Beth-El is this city’s address for a Judaism that fuses devotion to our heritage with insights from today and imagination toward our future.

As an exciting center of community, faith, celebration, and learning, Beth-El offers many points of access to an invigorating, meaningful, and engaging Jewish life: dynamic and moving prayer; illuminating and relevant learning for all ages; passionate and engaging social activism; nourishing and fulfilling relationships.

We believe that Judaism should be joyous and accessible to people of all backgrounds, ages, and stages. We proudly welcome everyone into our congregational family: Jews by choice and Jews by birth, interfaith families, LGBTQ Jews, Jews of all abilities and disabilities, the Jew-curious, and more! Whatever your background, and wherever you are on your journey, we are eager to help you and your family enrich your lives through Judaism and community.  We encourage you to browse our site, come check us out, and stay in touch.

B’rukhim ha-ba’im! Welcome to Temple Beth-El!
