Temple Beth El

With nearly 600 member families, Temple Beth El has a vibrant program of religious, spiritual, educational, social, social action and support activities. Temple Beth El is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism and its Central District, which represents the liberal tradition of Judaism. As a house of worship, a center of teaching and learning and a place of communal fellowship, the Temple’s progressive voice is heard and respected not only in Madison, but also throughout Wisconsin. Led by Rabbi Jonathan Bi**ch, the congregation plays a dynamic part in the religious and civic life of the community—a role encouraged by the Temple’s founding Rabbi, of blessed memory, Dr. Manfred Swarsensky.
