Welcome to Beth El

Welcome to Beth El Congregation, a Modern Conservative Jewish family located in heart of Pittsburgh’s South Hills.

After 100 years, Beth El is a thriving and open community, a family welcoming to all. We are a Modern Conservative congregation that strives to provide value beyond the life cycle needs of our members in a manner consistent with our Conservative ideals. We are committed to providing an engaging Jewish education for all ages and abilities, as we continue to modernize to be more relevant to the lives of today's congregants.
 
Beth El’s Spiegel Religious School prepares its students and their families to participate fully in Jewish life—at home, in the synagogue, and as part of the larger Jewish community.  Our creative and engaging learning environment is based on a dynamic evolving curriculum. 
 
We have weekday morning and evening minyans in addition to Shabbat and holiday services. All services are participatory for those interested. We invite you to come and experience a Shabbat with us any Saturday morning.  Services start at 9:30 a.m. and our Torah Service usually kicks off at around 10:00 a.m.
 
Almost every month of the year, we hold family activities that provide a great deal of fun and community spirit. These include monthly musical family Shabbat services and dinners, as well as other events around each holiday such as a Family Seder on the second night of Passover, a Chanukah Party, and a Community Purim carnival. We have an active Sisterhood (including a Zahava group) and Men’s Club that enhance the congregation with their many social, educational, and fundraising activities.
 
Joining Beth El is joining a family that is growing, alive, active, and exciting. We have three beautiful sanctuaries, a social hall and Community Room, a full commercial kitchen, and an in-house catering capability to handle all of the needs of our congregants.
 
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please call the synagogue office at (412) 561-­1168 to speak with Executive Director Chris Benton.
