Who We Are

OUR PEOPLE

The core strength of our congregation lies in its people. The unwavering commitment displayed by the members of Beth Hillel Temple is a testament to our vibrant community. This dedication is clearly evident through our extensive array of programs, the invaluable contributions of our volunteers, and the active involvement of our youth. Our members celebrate joyous occasions together, support one another in times of mourning and healing, share learning experiences, and come together in prayer.

DEDICATION

At the heart of our congregation, our volunteers selflessly give their time and effort not for personal recognition, but out of a deep-rooted pride in our community. Their dedication is visible through formal structures like the Leadership Council and Committees, as well as in more informal capacities such as teaching in our religious school, lay leading services when the Rabbi is unavailable, guiding programs in the afternoon on Yom Kippur, and hosting Onegs.

BELONGING

Throughout each facet of our congregation, a prevailing sense of home and belonging is shared among both members and guests alike. Our membership beautifully represents a rich diversity of Jewish backgrounds, including interfaith families and a wide range of lifestyles. Together, we create a welcoming tapestry that encapsulates the essence of community and embraces the values that define Beth Hillel Temple.

Our History

For close to 100 years, Beth Hillel Temple has been located on Kenosha’s Library Square, in a neo-classic synagogue building. Recognized as part of the Historic Library Park District, we have been an integral part of the southeast Wisconsin community. Recently remodeled, our building was made ADA accessible and has a beautiful landscaped backyard where we hold services in the summer.
