One tapestry, named Beth El, reflects Genesis 28:10–19, and the other, named Israel, reflects Genesis 32:25–32. The tapestry Beth El was dedicated by former congregation President Walter Arnheim.Congregation Beth El has received recognition for its award-winning adult education program, the Saul Bendit Institute.
