Elul invites us into a season of spiritual readiness.
At Temple Beth El, we offer meaningful ways to reflect, connect, and grow in preparation for the High Holy Days.
This year’s Elul Reading Series book is Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life–in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There) by Sarah Hurwitz. Together, we’ll explore Jewish wisdom that grounds us and guides us as we prepare for the High Holy Days.

Spend quiet time in the Blumenthal Sanctuary for personal reflection during Elul. Bring a journal, a loved one, or just yourself.
As the month of Elul nears its close, we gather for S’lichot, an evening of reflection, prayer, and preparation for the journey into the High Holy Days.
Led in partnership with the clergy and community of Temple Israel, this sacred service opens the gates of the heart. Through music, prayer, and soul-stirring reflection, we remember that teshuvah (return) is not a single moment, but a lifelong journey.
Come ready to soften, to listen, and to step forward with courage and hope as we prepare to enter the Days of Awe together.
