Founded in 1852, B'nai El is an original member of the Union for Reform Judiasm. Rabbi Daniel Plotkin has led the congregation since 2004.
Since Rabbi Plotkin's arrival, B'nai El has seen a growth in its membership, especially amongst young families.
In 2000, B'nai El entered into a partnership with the newly formed Saul Mirowitz Day School - Reform Jewish Academy, which educates children ages K-5th grade.
