Congregation Beth El, Conservative synagogue in Bethesda, Maryland.
The synagogue building spans 60,000 square feet and contains multiple worship spaces, educational facilities, and community meeting rooms for its 1,000 member families.
Founded in 1951 by 16 families, the congregation has expanded to become a major center of Jewish life in Montgomery County through decades of community growth.
The sanctuary features two large narrative tapestries created by artist Tamar Fishman, depicting stories from Genesis through traditional British weaving techniques.
The congregation maintains both a religious school serving 500 K-12 students and a preschool program enrolling 100 children in early education classes.
In 2010, 94-year-old congregant Esther Isralow completed her adult bat mitzvah ceremony after 18 months of dedicated Torah study.
