Congregation Beth-El is an Orthodox synagogue and community center in Rutherford, New Jersey. It was founded in 1919 as South Bergen Hebrew Institute of East Rutherford. The congregation constructed its main building in 1955 behind an existing circa 1885 Queen Anne Victorian mansion it owned at 185 Montross Avenue in Rutherford. The house was kept to serve as the rabbi's residence. The synagogue's mid-20th century records are kept in a collection at Rutgers University Library in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

East Rutherford School District

The East Rutherford School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from East Rutherford, in Bergen County, New Jersey. A small annex was constructed in 2001 across the street from the Faust main building which includes a small office and four classrooms used for pre-kindergarten and fifth graders. McKenzie School is used for children from Kindergarten until fourth grade. As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 819 students and 73.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.2:1.The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.For grades ninth through twelfth grades, public school students attend the Henry P. Becton Regional High School in East Rutherford, which serves high school students from both Carlstadt and East Rutherford as part of the Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional School District. As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 491 students and 37.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.2:1. Starting in the 2020–21 school year, students from Maywood will start attending the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship; Maywood's transition to Becton will be complete after the final group of twelfth graders graduates from Hackensack High School at the end of the 2023–24 school year.A January 2020 referendum to fund $35.5 million in improvements to both schools and to district offices was passed by voters by a margin of 18 votes. With approximately $5 million in state aid to cover the project included, the project would add $360 to property taxes assessed on a home at the borough average.
