Welcome to Temple Beth El, a Jewish synagogue dedicated in 1969 and affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism. We are the heart of Jewish life in Santa Maria, Calif. We worship on Shabbat using the traditional prayers of our Jewish heritage in the comfortable environment of our synagogue's sanctuary. Services begin at 7:30 p.m. every Friday.
- Our services are led by visiting and student rabbis and qualified lay leaders.
- We welcome interfaith families.
- We offer regular education programs and Saturday morning Torah studies.
Join our Temple Beth El Community
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.
