Welcome!

Our members come from many different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We welcome Jewish and interfaith families and individuals, including those who are new to Jewish study and practice. We are a Welcoming Synagogue, dedicated to inclusion of all gender identities and orientations. We have a full schedule of multigenerational holiday celebrations, classes, cultural and social activities. For security reasons, most of our events are open only to Temple Members and our Guests. To learn about our many events and attend as our Guest, please contact our office at templebetheleurekaca@gmail.com. We especially welcome students from Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Redwoods.

We work together on local, statewide, national and international social and environmental issues, including climate, human rights, reproductive justice, and gun violence prevention. We seek out opportunities to support our local Native American, Black, Muslim and immigrant communities.

We both honor traditions and embrace innovation. We warmly welcome visitors to our events and our website!
 


Israel-Hamas War

It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the horrific suffering that is the Israel-Hamas war. We know this has caused most of us to contemplate the causes, the realities and the future of a peaceful Middle East. 
 
Rabbi Naomi Steinberg has been following a great many sources to give us all an overview of opinions and facts of this conflict. Our Jewish community has shown a great deal of gratitude and encouragement for this effort. We, as Temple Beth El Board Members, want to acknowledge that we firmly support our Rabbi’s efforts in this endeavor. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. If you would like to receive Rabbi Steinberg's updates, contact the temple office at templebetheleurekaca@gmail.com.
