Rabbi Zukrow speaks extensively throughout the community, educating people about Judaism.  If you would like the Rabbi to visit your church or organization, please contact the Temple Office.  Rabbi Ostrich also teaches a four semester sequence of courses on Judaism at the University of West Florida.  For information, visit the course catalog on the UWF website.

  Each year, we invite the non-Jewish community to attend a special, education worship service.  Our Rabbi explains the spiritual process in a Jewish worship service and shows our visitors the way Jews encounter God.  Of course, visitors are welcome at every service.  However, in this service, held at the end of January or the beginning of February each year, special explanations offer our visitors more educational and analytical experience.  The next scheduled service is January 28, 2005.

  For the last 30 years, Temple Beth-El has participated in the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service.  Various local congregations have been part of this over the years, and we have been proud to host it on many occasions.  This year's Interfaith Thanksgiving Service will be on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 and will be hosted by Temple Beth-El.

  For a lively and informed discussion of religious issues, tune in to WUWF Television (Channel 4 on Cox Cable) every Monday evening at 7:30 for Religion for the Public Square.  Rabbi David Ostrich of Temple Beth-El and Pastor Robert Mills of First Baptist Church lead a discussion of the issues and oportunities facing the religious world.

  In the interest of developing and continuing good interfaith relationships, Robert L. Kahn, a native Pensacolian and past president of the congregation, was proud to bring in significant speakers for Pensacola's interfaith community.  The first speaker the foundation brought to town was Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People.  This year, the Foundation will be sponsoring New York Times best-selling author Bruce Feiler who wrote Abraham: A Journey Through the Heart of Three Faiths.  Mr. Failer will speak at Christ Episcopal Church on Tuesday, January 18.
