Community

we are a community that likes to gather

build connections

Build connections with your TBE family

and build bridges to others in the community.

You were not meant to live life alone and no matter where you live you can have an impact on your community. We have weekly opportunities for you to connect with others in the TBE community, as well as ways to connect and grow by serving.

Take a look below at the variety of opportunities to connect with those at TBE. Make new friends and grow deeper connections with those who are already in your life!

adult education

Temple Beth-El is proud to offer a variety of adult focused education and connection opportunities monthly and quarterly.

Our mission is to offer varied, thoughtful programming which will be Temple-centered and offer a Jewish perspective whenever possible. We have no wish to compete with other fine local institutions but intend to cultivate a warm and embracing Jewish community for our adult congregants and friends.

Earth Angels

"Whoever destroys a single life is considered to have destroyed the whole world, and whoever saves a single life is to have saved the whole world."
- Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5

Help make your community a place of caring and kindness.

Don’t miss the opportunity to become an Angel on Earth. The ways are simple: reach out to your neighbor or a friend in need, a stranger who needs comfort; give of yourself one hour a week, one hour a month, some cookies, a phone call, a visit or a card.

Consider becoming a part of a unique group ready to serve individuals in our community who need us.

Contact Lisa Cohen at LECohen@TampaBay.rr.com for more information.
