Congregation Beth El Binah


Beth El Binah is a Reform Congregation welcoming people of all backgrounds.  We recognize that all men and women are created in b’tselem Elohim, in the image of God.  In Hebrew, Beth El Binah means “house of an Understanding God.”


Beth El Binah was founded as a synagogue with an outreach to the GLBT community.  We became a congregation in 1989 and joined with the the Union of Reform Judaism in 1992. 


Today we have a very diverse membership which reflects the evolution of our community.  

Shabbat services are held the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month beginning at 7:30 p.m.
