Synaplex™ Previews at Beth El on September 5-6. Download flyer

Synaplex™ is an initiative of STAR (Synagogues: Transformation and Renewal). Synaplex at PTBE is made possible by a grant from STAR and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund.



Shabbat is at the center of life at Peninsula Temple Beth El.

Our Kabbalat Shabbat Services begin at 6:15 pm on the first and second Friday of the month and at 7:30 pm on the last two Fridays. When there are five Fridays in a month we celebrate Shabbat at 6:15 pm on the third Friday. This summer we will celebrate Shabbat outdoors in our beautiful garden on July 11, August 8, and September 12. See below for the schedule through December.

Our Hallelu band helps us joyously welcome in Shabbat on the first Friday of the month...

Shabbat morning begins with Torah Study at 9:00 am with hot coffee and bagels. During the summer Torah Study is lay led. Sessions with Rabbi Eisner resume on September 6. Our Shabbat morning service begins at 10:30 am and includes a Torah service. Our Shabbat morning service is designed to provide an inclusive experience for all who come to worship in our sanctuary.

There are often enhancements to the Shabbat experience. Please consult the calendar for this week's opportunities.

Tot Shabbat, designed for newborns through pre-schoolers, will be held on the third Saturday of the month at 9:00 am. Celebrate Shabbat with a morning service filled with songs and stories, an Oneg Shabbat snack, and time on the playground.
