Congregation Beth Shalom

Year Of Growth
Following hiring of our Rabbi and Cantor last year, family units have increased in number by over 40 percent. This fall we began religious school for children ages 3 and up with bar/bat mitzvah training by our clergy. To accommodate this growth we have leased a space for administrative duties, classes and meetings. 
CBS produced the 2014 Jewish Film Festival and will be the driving force behind this important community event in 2015. We sponsored the Ann Katz Festival of Books and Arts and adopted two families for Chanukah through the Jewish Federation Adopt-a-Family program. We regularly partner with Popsie’s Pantry and will undertake more social action projects in 2015. 

Other 2015 activities include a Chinese dinner, the ever-popular Barbecue Shabbat in the Park, break the fast, building/decorating a Sukkah, and a progressive dinner along with regular book club and Torah study.
Shabbat services are every second and fourth Friday at 6:30 p.m. at University High School, and are open to all.
