We are an egalitarian Conservative synagogue with a multi-generational membership. Our small size and our “participatory congregation” make our shul feel like a second family.

Beth Emeth was founded in 1958 by members wanting to get away from the economics and politics of the high-pressure fundraising efforts that often take over at larger synagogues. This group wanted a more intimate experience focused on the joys and fulfillment of practicing Judaism. Today, Beth Emeth is a shul where everybody knows each other, where children become bar or bat mitzvah without having to share a haftorah, where anybody can participate in Shabbat services, and where contributions are not publicized. We all feel grateful indeed for the vision of our founding members.

Newcomers of all ages are always welcome at our Saturday morning Shabbat services (they start at 9:15am) and the following kiddush. Bring the kids and join us, meet our members, chat with Rabbi Berk … we'd love to have you!

We extend our hands in welcome and say, “B'ruchim ha-ba'im!” (Blessed are those who come!)
