Beth El Congregation is a synagogue in Winchester, Virginia, serving a small but regionally connected Jewish community in the Shenandoah Valley and nearby West Virginia. The congregation emphasizes welcome, inclusivity, and care for one another while maintaining a strong connection to Jewish history and ritual life. A central part of its identity is a Holocaust Torah from Humpolec, written in the late nineteenth century and received by the congregation in 1973 through the efforts of founding members Seymour and Betty Barr. Beth El has also invested in practical renewal, with renovations, security improvements, and updated classrooms that support learning, gathering, and community life.
