Our Story · Est. 1926
A community of meaning, a century in the making
A Century of Light
Founded a century ago, Beth El Center for Jewish Life has been a beacon of spiritual warmth, intellectual engagement and community connection in West Palm Beach. In 2026 we celebrate our Centennial — one hundred years of Jewish life, and counting.
“One hundred years, one community.”
A Community of Meaning
We are more than a synagogue — we are a community of meaning. Here, tradition and innovation walk hand in hand. Whether you come to pray, learn, celebrate, or simply connect, you will find a place where Jewish heritage comes alive and every individual is embraced as family.
“Tradition and innovation, hand in hand.”
Repairing the World
Together we celebrate life's milestones, strengthen our Jewish identity, and live out the timeless call of tikkun olam — repairing the world through social justice and service to West Palm Beach and beyond.
“Tikkun olam — the timeless call to repair the world.”
