Temple Judea Mizpah (TJM) is a warm and welcoming 130 member family community celebrating over 60 years in Skokie. Sharing many of our same values, TJM and Beth Emet will be combining communities this High Holiday season as details are being finalized for a permanent unification. This is an opportunity to share more information and provide an opportunity for questions to Beth Emet and TJM staff and lay leadership.
Read the letter Board President, Ross Bricker, recently sent out.

Grow Our Community
Our community is strong because we each are an important part of the life of our synagogue. As they say, “it’s about the people.” It's important for others in the area to know that Beth Emet is a strong, vibrant congregation that has many doors in which to step into and engage in whichever way feels best. We each know someone who is not affiliated, and we invite you to invite them to check out Beth Emet. There’s great information on our
website
, and/or they can contact
Bekki Harris Kaplan
, Executive Director, for more information or questions. Every new member brings their voice and strength to our community. Thank you!
