Temple Beth-El (Great Neck, New York)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temple Beth-El, the oldest synagogue in Great Neck, New York, was founded in 1928. Rabbi Jacob P. Rudin served as spiritual leader for four decades. It now enjoys a membership of over 1,200 families and is recognized as one of the most innovative and dynamic Reform congregations in America. The temple is a member of URJ - Union for Reform Judaism.
The constant interest of a dedicated rabbinate and lay leadership assures that the activities of the Religious School, Early Childhood Education Center, Women of Reform Judaism, Brotherhood, Family, Youth and Social Groups, combine to meet the varied needs of the entire congregation.
The cultural life of the Temple is enhanced by an outstanding library as well as a museum which contains a carefully selected collection of items representing the major periods of Jewish history.
The original Temple building was enlarged three times during the past 60 years and contains many noteworthy works of art.
