Temple Beit Shalom

Welcome to Temple Beth-El

Located at 10001 Columbia Avenue in Munster, Indiana, Temple Beth-El is a vibrant Reform Jewish congregation dedicated to worship, study, and social responsibility. Established on September 19, 1911, we have proudly served the Calumet Region’s Jewish community for over 110 years. Our rich history began in downtown Hammond, Indiana, and has evolved through several locations, culminating in our current home in Munster.

At Temple Beth-El, we are more than just a place of worship; we are a caring community that strives to meet the spiritual, intellectual, and cultural needs of each member of our Temple family. Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Gidon Isaacs and the guidance of Rabbi Emeritus Michael N. Stevens, we offer a welcoming environment for over 200 member households, including many interfaith families.

Our state-of-the-art facilities include a beautiful sanctuary, modern classrooms, a library, and a commercial-quality kitchen. In 2007, we expanded our space to include a multi-purpose room, ensuring that we can accommodate a variety of activities and events. Our congregation blends innovative worship and educational programming with a strong sense of community spirit and hospitality.

Led by President Larry Gill and supported by dedicated staff like Brotherhood President Larry Gill and Religious School Facilitator Mindy Miller, Temple Beth-El is committed to perpetuating Judaism for future generations. We offer a wide range of programs and services, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Join us at Temple Beth-El, where our warm and friendly congregation is ready to welcome you as part of our spiritual family.
