TEMPLE BETH SHALOM, A MIXED MULTITUDE...
From early childhood to seniors… Families, couples, individuals… Reading, singing, studying and celebrating the life cycle together. Some who believe, some who doubt, all who question — building together a sense of community and hope.
The Talmud teaches: God spoke the Ten Commandments in one voice, but they were heard in seventy different languages.
Affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, we are a trans-denominational, liberal congregation of over 400 families serving the Rivertowns and beyond, with a Nursery School for 2-, 3- and 4/5- year-olds, a Religious School for kindergarten through high school, and an extensive selection of adult education programs. A weekly Shabbat service on Friday evenings; Friday evening congregational events to observe traditions, Holiday services; films, choir and music; lifecycle events from birth to Bar/Bat Mitzvah and from weddings to memorial services; social action, tzedakah and moral issues that face the Jewish people and the world at large — are all part of our programs.
Upcoming Events
Tu Bish’vat Climate Seder / Feb 12 / 6:30-8 pm
Tu Bish’vat emerged as the Birthday of Trees in Talmudic Jewish wisdom nearly 2000 years ago. It welcomed the yearly rising of sap and new beginnings. Reimagined by 17th-century Jewish mystics, it has become a celebration of the bounty of earth, deep in ritual metaphor.
Save the date and join us at TBS for own take on Tu Bish'Vat.
Wednesday, Feb 12, 6:30 - 8 PM.
