Beth El Hebrew Congregation

On this Global Running Day, Cantor Kaufman and Beth El member, Janet Garber are scouting locations for next years inaugural Beth El walk and run 5k!

Cantor Kaufman has been dreaming of a Beth El 5k for years and we are so excited to make this dream come true!

If you are interested in being a sponsor and volunteering to make this an incredible event, please reach out to Cantor Kaufman.

On this first day of Pride Month, we send our warmest wishes to every member of the Beth El community: our LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and allies. In other words- our entire community!

This afternoon, Cantor Kaufman joined Delegate Kirk McPike and community leaders in Richmond in support of the Freedom to Marry Amendment, which will appear on this November’s ballot.

Virginia’s constitution still contains language defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Should federal protections for marriage equality ever be weakened or reversed, Virginia families would be left vulnerable. This November, we have the opportunity to live our Reform Jewish values and change that.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyful Pride.

We're gathering for a special midday luncheon on Thursday, May 14 to share a meal and shape something new together. Beth El is exploring expanded daytime programming, and we want to hear from you: What would you love to see? What would bring you together during the day?

Whether you work from home, keep a flexible schedule, are retired, or just love a good midday gathering, this conversation is for you.

✨ Free to attend 🕛 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Bring your ideas, your curiosity, and your appetite.
