About Temple Beth El in Boca Raton:
Welcome to Temple Beth El of Boca Raton! As Boca Raton's first synagogue, we've been leading the south Florida Jewish community with pioneering spirit, progressive ideas, and creative programming since 1967.
For more than 40 years, our religious, educational, and social programs have provided our congregants a stimulating environment for their active participation and growth. Designed to inspire our members through every stage of their lives, our programs take into account the changing needs of the Jewish community without sacrificing the traditions we hold so dear.
Our Commitment
Over thousands of years, the synagogue has endured as the strongest institution in Judaism. At its heart is the commitment to strengthen and replenish the Jewish spirit and perpetuate its people as one. It is the home of sacred words and values given to us by God, who compels us to teach those values to our children.
For more than four decades, Temple Beth El of Boca Raton has served this role for our congregational family and community. Thousands benefit from our myriad programs each designed to strengthen our ties to the past and our commitment to the future.
Thank you. I normally celebrate Christmas but this year I want to honor the almighty by celebrating his miracles and his birth. I am just now realizing that I am missing books from my bible because of Rome's constantine. It is sad to me that no church I go to celebrates any Jewish feast or other Holidays. This was part of Messiah's upbringing, why wasn't it in mine?
