LIFECYCLE EVENTS
We find meaning, comfort, and strength in the temple throughout our entire lives. Our ceremonies, services, and celebrations place the phases of our lives into a Jewish perspective.
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Graduates from our program leave ready to be the next generation of Jewish thinkers and leaders in a world that needs their unique perspectives, dreams, and talents.
LIFELONG LEARNING
Temple Beth Shalom believes Jewish education continues throughout adulthood, with the best learning happening at the intersections of classroom and community.
Get to know Rabbi Ellie Steinman, our Board of Trustees' recommendation for the position of Temple Beth Shalom senior rabbi, beginning July 1, 2023.
The Annual Meeting for members is back in person this year! It's opportunity for congregants to participate in the governance of the temple by voting on the temple’s 2022-23 budget and the Board of Trustees slate of officers.
