Congregation Beth Emeth

Beth Emeth is a warm & welcoming community that lives its values. Services are led by a combination of the rabbi and a rotating group of volunteers who serve as cantor. There are regularly scheduled services for preschoolers on Saturday mornings. Friday night services are filled with music and are much shorter than Saturday.

The congregation also boasts a full day preschool during the week.

The CBE community has been wonderful to my family. The Rabbi and religious school leadership in particular have been very welcoming and helpful. My son had had a very positive experience with the religious school. I would highly recommend this congregation to anyone.

Beth Emeth has been our second home for the past 13 years. All the leadership that we have encountered have been warm and welcoming. Our children's special needs were met from preschool all the way through High School including our award winning youth group. For example, to ease my daughter's anxiety about studying for her Bat Mitzvah, they started her learnng early to give her extra time to practice. Services are engaging and all are made to feel welcome. Children are often brought up to the bima to join in leading services so that they are more comfortable when they have their Bar or Bar Mitzvah. I highly recommend Beth Emeth.

CBE is a warm, welcoming congregation. It was my 2nd home for more than 20 years when I lived in VA. It was so welcoming and friendly that my husband decided to convert after 17 years of marriage! It has a bustling preschool, an inclusive religious school and plenty of adult learning. They have a lovely social hall for all of your simchas. The staff, lay leadership and congregation are all available to help you navigate your way into Jewish living. Small congregation feel with large congregation amenities. I miss you all!

We have been members of Beth Emeth for 11 years. My daughters attended religious school and Chai School here, had bat mitzvahs here, and were confirmed here. The rabbi, religious school director, special needs director, and teachers provided wonderful opportunities and support to our family both while my girls were students and since then.

This is our son's first year at this excellent school (BEECC) and I really can't speak highly enough about it! His teachers, Theresa and Beth, are so loving and knowledgable about this age group. They do a lot of art, music, and movement in addition to free-play and they get outside as often as possible. There are also rotating specialist teachers, classes are never overfull and always well-staffed. I've met some wonderful friends in the fellow parents and many of us hang out on the playground together after school hours. While there is some Jewish education speckled in, you don't need to be Jewish to attend and the families there now come from all different backgrounds. We are so lucky to have found this school and community!

So glad we found CBE when we moved to Northern Virginia 3 years ago. My family appreciates the warm community, inspiring Rabbi, and the huge amount of family-friendly programming. We love the outstanding preschool, award-winning youth group, and terrific learning opportunities for all ages. We had excellent experiences making 2 Bar/Bat Mitzvahs here. If you're looking for a synagogue or temple in Northern Virginia, this place is the best.

My oldest son graduated the preschool at CBE two years ago and I still have two children attending the preschool. Last year we joined the congregation We felt welcomed and on several occasions one of a more senior members would reach out and invite us to join events and activities.
