Congregation Beth El Community

At Congregation Beth El, we are a diverse community of people from all walks of life and all over the world. Some of our families have just arrived in Southeastern Virginia, while others have been here for generations. We are doctors, accountants, gardeners, teachers, members of the military, and stay-at-home dads. Our members are young, unmarried professionals, families with children in school, and grandparents who travel the world but still call Hampton Roads home. We invite you to stop by and experience Beth El for yourself.
