Membership
Congregation Beth Elohim welcomes new members
Congregation Beth Elohim, in Acton, is a thriving, caring, independent and progressive Jewish community. We value education, Jewish culture, and spirituality.
Our programs and initiatives include a 150-student Religious School for grades K-8, Family Education, Adult Education, a superb adult choir, Tot Shabbat, an active BBYO youth group for teens, and Sisterhood and Brotherhood organizations. Beth Elohim draws members from such surrounding towns as Acton, Boxborough, Concord, Littleton, Stow, Maynard, Harvard, Sudbury, Westford, Chelmsford, and Groton.
Beth Elohim is a community synagogue with a liberal orientation which combines an appreciation for the sanctity of Jewish traditions with a sensitivity to the needs of a population which is religiously quite diverse. We welcome families of mixed religious backgrounds who are interested in exploring Judaism. We are, by choice, independent, drawing membership from varying backgrounds, including traditional, Conservative, Reform and secular. Interfaith families are welcome to participate in all functions, programs, and opportunities offered by the congregation regardless of the faith of the individual member or loved ones.
Check out video messages from several new and long time congregants about what CBE means to them. Or, take a look at the "50 Word" submissions from several congregants in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of CBE's founding.

We've gone solar!
In observance of the mitzvah, sh'mirat ha-adamah, "protecting the earth," the CBE board has made the commitment to solar power.
Electricity generated by our four solar canopies is among the most for a house of worship in Massachusetts.
See in real time how much electricity is produced directly for CBE and for CBE & the Community. Read about the solar project and when the system went live. Also learn how families are helping the environment by watching our teens in a short video or by joining the Green Team.
