Our Membership Philosophy

Congregation Beth El welcomes all who wish to find a sense of community within our walls and to be a part of Jewish life in Fort Bend County.

Everyone is welcome to participate in most that we have to offer, but only those who are members of CBE are entitled to enroll their children in our religious school, given voting privileges, invited to holy day worship services without charge, and have access to the clergy’s services for life cycle events and other personal needs.
