Shalom & Welcome to our Temple in Glens Falls NY

Our Mission

We are an inclusive, sacred home and spiritual family, committed to being a vibrant, intergenerational beacon of hope and belonging. Rooted in Reform Jewish value, we practice Hachnasat Orchim (Inclusive Welcome), ensuring every person is seen, heard, and finds profound belonging. We cultivate deep connection and inspire sacred journeys through Kavanah (Spiritual Growth) and Talmud Torah (Lifelong Learning), nurturing the soul and embracing the wisdom of our traditions. From this ultimate source of Kehillah (Sacred Community), we are empowered to courageously live our values, serving as a powerful force for justice and Tikkun Olam (Repair the World) in our community and beyond.

About Temple Beth El:
A Glens Falls Temple Since 1924

A Place Where You Belong

We’re more than a landmark—we’re a living, breathing community.

At Temple Beth El, we believe that Jewish life is about the relationships we build with one another. We are big on meaningful connection and small on formality.

A Place for Every Family: Whether you’re Jewish by birth, Jewish by choice, or part of an interfaith or non-traditional household, you are family here. We celebrate the diversity that makes us whole.

Friendship First: We’re known for being the kind of place where people actually know your name. You’ll find a community that is as diverse as it is welcoming.

Spirituality That Sticks: Our programs aren’t just “educational”—they are designed to be engaging, relevant, and deeply personal to your life today.
