Volunteer Opportunities
If You Can Help, We Need You
There are many ways that we, as Jews, embrace giving to others. And giving of ourselves – our time and our commitment – is very important. Giving back to our temple and local community by volunteering your time and your heart is personally rewarding and considered a mitzvah. At Temple Beth El, we have many volunteer opportunities. Please let us know what you’re interested in and passionate about!
Contact us to learn more about how you can participate in one of these volunteer opportunities.
