Who we are
Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El, a Conservative Congregation located in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, has been a part of the Main Line Jewish Community for 60 years.
Education, prayer, and a sense of community continue to be the foundations of our synagogue. We were pioneers in being fully egalitarian in our services and in our leadership, and democratic in our “no assigned seats” policy for the high holidays or any other service. Our schools have been recognized for their excellence and innovation. Our staff and lay leaders have been recognized locally and nationally for their creativity and quality.
At TBH-BE, we strive to
- Advance and strengthen Jewish observance and values
- Foster a love of learning and positive Jewish identities
- Instill a sense of responsibility to the Jewish people, Israel, and the local and global community
- Promote warm and caring friendships among our members
