Welcome to Temple Beth El, a Jewish synagogue affliated with the Union for Reform Judaism. Our congregation serves the California Central Coast, including Northern Santa Barbara, and Southern San Luis Obispo Counties.

We offer a spiritual haven for the Jewish community in our growing Santa Maria Valley

• We worship on Shabbat using the traditional prayers of our Jewish heritage in the comfortable and intimate environment of our sanctuary. Services are held every Friday at 7:30 P.M. 
• Diverse points of view are expressed and welcomed with our visiting Rabbis each month as well as by our qualified lay leaders.
• Interfaith familes are always welcome here.
• We hold bi-monthly adult education programs with Saturday morning Torah studies and Saturday evening Havdalah programs.

Come join our Temple Beth El Community

Please join us for High Holy Days and stay for the yearly cycle of events.

Dine in our Temple sukkah, make latkes for our annual Hanukkah party, experience a Tu B'Shavat seder, ask the four questions at our popular community Passover seder, light a remembrance candle for Yom Ha'Shoah, attend a Saturday morning B'nai Mizvah ceremony, and come out for Santa Maria style BBQ on the Fourth of July!

But most importantly of all, come perform the mitzvah of attending services and being part of a minyan. Help your Jewish community to say kaddish, read from one of our three Torahs, and keep our Jewish traditions alive each week.
