Berkeley's Congregation Beth El was organized by thirty-five families in 1944. It was founded as a liberal congregation that
was guided by reverence for tradition. It moved to a location on Arch and Vine Streets in 1950, and in 1951, it joined the
Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Its school building was erected in 1958. By 1986, it numbered over 325 families.
