Annual Women's Connection Shabbat Celebration
Our Annual Women's Connection Shabbat celebrates the women of Beth El when we participate in and lead all parts of the Service and continue the tradition of honoring a Woman of Valor. This past year we honored Sue Appelbaum, a long-time member of our community with a rich history of demonstrating the values of volunteering to help others.
And we celebrated ALL of our women for all we do:
**Teaching & Education** **Tikkun Olam** **Community Outreach** **Science** **Healthcare**
**Counseling & Emotional Support** **Family & At-Home Learning**
**Preserving & Creating Tradition**
All women are invited to help with and participate in our Annual Service and the celebration following. All women AND men are invited to take part in this special celebration.

Mah JonGG
Did you know it was Mah Jongg that led to Beth El’s founding when a group of dedicated women got together in Clairemont in 1956 to play—and that led to starting a Hebrew school and a Shul in 1957? The 60+ year tradition continues with weekly games and camaraderie. Players must be vaccinated and have masks. Coordinators are Ronni Zeidman and Betty Hoffman.
BETH EL MOMS' CHAT
understanding conservative judaism
Rabbi Shulman and Rabbi Libman
Our mission reads: “Congregation Beth El is a Conservative synagogue whose mission is to create a home for every soul by offering a variety of Jewish experiences to nourish the mind, heart, and spirit, while being a caring Jewish community.” What does it mean to be a Conservative synagogue? What is distinctive about our style of synagogue practice and celebration? What does it mean to be part of a world-wide movement right here in La Jolla? What are we “conserving” and how are we adapting? Let’s explore answers to these questions and learn more about the important work of Conservative Judaism.
Programs like this are for our entire community and are sponsored by Women’s Connection and the Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism in support of perpetuating Conservative/Masorti Judaism around the world through the training of Jewish clergy and professionals.
