Welcome Y'all!
Temple Beth Elohim, of
Georgetown, South Carolina, was established in
1904 when the Jews of Georgetown, who were worshipping in peoples' homes
and at the Winyah Indigo Society, formalized their congregation by becoming the
sister temple to Charleston's Kahal Kadosh
Beth Elohim. We still pride ourselves for continuing that
relationship and commemorate our interesting history.
Our congregation represents a diverse population. Many of our
members settled here from around the country and are comforted to find a
congregation in which connections are easily made and a surrogate family
quickly takes root. We are proud of our members born and raised in
the South, those coming here from other areas, and our "snowbirds" who
spend quality time with us for part of the year.
