Staff
We at BJBE know that congregational leadership and culture flow from many areas of the Temple structure. Our Administrative and Education teams guide our community and schools through much of what we do. This dedicated and friendly group are integral to the atmosphere of trust, fun, and commitment that help to bind our congregational community. We are deeply proud of the quality of education, both formal and informal, that we provide to our youth and are even prouder of the Jewish adults that we help to raise.

Clergy
We are fortunate to have a clergy team made up of some of the true stars of American Jewry. Each of them maintains a national and local reputation for excellence as they nurture the spiritual needs of our community. The rabbis and cantors function in a true sacred partnership with the rest of the professional staff, the lay leadership, and the Board.
Who We Are
BJBE is an inclusive and welcoming community. We encourage participation from all who seek a connection to Jewish life and want to be part of our sacred community regardless of religious background, race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, ability, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We encourage all to participate in our community, regardless of knowledge of Hebrew or Judaism.
