The program for this temple design project called for a 350-seat sanctuary, expandable to 1,200 for the High Holy Days. This temple design attempts to integrate the expansion space so that all congregants feel like they are an equal part of the worship community, regardless of where they are seated. Also included in the program was a small chapel, social hall, meeting rooms, and administrative offices. Read more here.
Temple Beth El occupies a site adjacent to the entry drive in Sholom Park, a Jewish campus that was developed with a community center as the central facility. The center provides recreational and social community facilities, as well as shared educational and meeting spaces for two independent synagogues which flank its approach.
