Temple Beth El occupies a site adjacent to the entry drive in Sholom Park, a Jewish campus that was developed with a community center as the central facility. The center provides recreational and social community facilities, as well as shared educational and meeting spaces for two independent synagogues which flank its approach. A historic ark found in Passaic, NJ became the heart of the design and greatly influenced the architecture.
Temple Beth El, founded in 1943 and affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, is a dynamic center for Jewish religious, cultural and educational development in Charlotte, North Carolina.
