Welcome to Beth El Congregation, located at the center of the Akron Jewish Community. Come for a visit and stay for a while!
We are a warm, welcoming, inclusive, and multi-generational Jewish community more than a century-young. We are your community, your home, and your sacred space. We celebrate all of life’s experiences: raising our families, building friendships, and being there for each other throughout the full spectrum of life-cycle events. Our Judaism is practiced both traditionally and innovatively, and we work together with Jews and non-Jews alike to care for those who are in need. We have a tremendously rich history and a bright future. Most of all, we are a family. Welcome!

Joy and Jewish learning go hand in hand at the Beth El Religious School. Our goal is to facilitate a love of Jewish life through experiential learning, Jewish wisdom, and observing traditions.
