ASHREI YOSHVE VEYTECHA … Happy are those who dwell in your house.”

At Temple Beth Hillel Beth El we have created an educated, proud, vibrant, and happy community of learners.  To be part of our community is to “dwell”, indeed, to live, in the synagogue, which is God’s house. Our Youth- School Community provides many opportunities to make TBH-BE your dwelling place: youth services, youth groups, family programs, school-wide activities, and holiday celebrations to name a few.  To paraphrase the words of the Psalmist: Happy are those families who are involved in the Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El Youth School Community.   Included on these webpages is important information about our community for both religious school and day school families.  Please take a few moments to get to know us.
