Mission & Vision

At Congregation Beth Shalom, we believe in connecting, engaging, and inspiring everyone who walks through our doors. We are an egalitarian, Conservative synagogue committed to honoring Jewish tradition while embracing modern life.

Rooted in the Five Pillars of our synagogue life – Beit Tefilah (Prayer), Beit Midrash (Study), Beit K’nesset (Assembly), Beit Am (Social Action), and Beit Yisrael (Support for Israel) – we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for all. Whether you’re a young family, a seasoned congregant, or exploring Judaism for the very first time, you are invited to be part of our kehillah (community).

Our mission is simple: To connect our members with each other and with their faith. To foster meaningful relationships. To spark curiosity. To ensure every voice is heard.

At Beth Shalom, we engage our community through meaningful prayer services, accessible adult education, inspiring youth programs, and heartfelt acts of tikkun olam (repairing the world). We celebrate Jewish life in all its forms, while staying true to the Halachic standards of Conservative Judaism. We also support Israel wholeheartedly, recognizing its central role in Jewish identity and unity.

In short, we’re here to nurture every stage of your Jewish journey – one that’s rich with tradition and open to new perspectives. Our vision is that all who enter feel embraced, uplifted, and inspired to deepen their connection to each other, to the broader Jewish community, and to Jewish life itself.
