Prospective Members
Thank you for your interest in B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim. We are a diverse congregation with more than 900 families, including many interfaith families. BJBE welcomes new members because we believe that each family/person brings talents, energy and prospective that enrich us. No one is turned away for lack of ability to pay. We offer programs to help new members become a part of our congregational family such as the Chavurah program. Please look over our Web site and call our Executive Director Marc Swatez at the Temple office at 847-940-7575 to learn more.
BJBE offers dynamic, innovative programming to our members and guests. We provide an active community to those who wish to make a difference, a caring community to those less fortunate, and a nurturing community to those seeking connection.
