WELCOME to BAI!

We Beth Am’ers are an inclusive, spiritual bunch, joyfully bound together by our belief that, through soulful prayer, lifelong learning, and generous service, we create kindness, craft meaning and can transform the world.

No matter who you are or where you are on your Jewish journey, we welcome you to bring your love, your talents, and your goodness to join us in Building Meaningful Jewish Lives Together.

PRAY spiritually

At Beth Am Israel, we are reimagining Conservative Judaism for the 21^stcentury.

Our strength in prayer and spirituality is in our willingness to create traditional, innovative and “blended” offerings that feed our minds, bodies, and souls. We are the soulful shul on the main line.

Let the Beth Am Israel experience inspire you!

LEARN joyfully

We’re questioners and learners. We’re up for an intellectual thrill, a spiritual exploration, or a moral challenge. How do we weave Jewish ethics into all that we do?

Curious?

Come join us and find out! No matter how much you know or don’t know about Judaism, Beth Am Israel is your place to learn

SERVE generously

At Beth Am Israel, service is in our DNA. We participate, we support one another in times of joy and sorrow, and we work to repair the world outside our doors. Everything we do happens because we give of ourselves, generously contributing our time, talents, and creative energies to make our community ― and our world ― a better place.Come find what moves you and how you want to make a difference.
