OUR MISSION

Congregation Beth Sholom is committed to traditional and egalitarian Jewish practice, encouraging everyone to find their unique Jewish path.

With Shabbat at our core, our vibrant congregation is a lifelong home for individuals and families across generations to discover, deepen and express their Jewish identity through learning, ritual, service and enriched community life.

You will leave each encounter at Congregation Beth Sholom feeling enriched, relevant and with a sense of belonging.

CBS celebrates that no single approach to Judaism fits all. Personal choice is respected and the diversity of our community is nurtured. We also pride ourselves on being a safe and welcoming space for community members of all sexual orientations and gender expressions. For more than 350 households, Congregation Beth Sholom is home.

While remaining committed to significant Jewish observance, the State of Israel, social activism, and egalitarianism, Beth Sholom has been a vanguard for change within the Conservative movement. It was among the first Conservative synagogues to provide women equal participation in all aspects of religious life — including aliyot (calls to Torah) and the daily minyan — and to recognize its LGBTQ members. Beth Sholom was also the first synagogue to house a Jewish meditation center.
