Music | Temple Beth El
At Temple Beth El, a balance of traditional Jewish music blended with contemporary styles encourages participation from the whole congregation, raising our prayers to a higher level of spirituality. Our Cantorial team, musical groups and guest professional musicians create a feeling of ruach (spirit) that helps to make Shabbat and holiday experiences more vibrant and more meaningful.
