Welcome to Beth Chaverim: Our House of Friends!
Beth Chaverim means “House of Friends” in Hebrew. That is what you will find at Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation. We are a welcoming community, connecting with one another and centuries of Jewish tradition. We are filled with energy, warmth and spiritual meaning. We celebrate our diversity – we are young families, seniors, singles, teens, empty nesters, interfaith families, same sex couples, Jews by birth and Jews by choice.
We are more than a congregation – we’re a family, a community and friends.
Look around our website and see what we have to offer. Then join us for a relaxed, welcoming Erev Shabbat service, a Tot Shabbat, or our special Jammin’ Shabbat service. Join an adult learning class and bring your elementary school age children to our junior youth group events. Come light the Chanukah menorah at our Chanukah service, munch on hamentashen at our Purim shpiel, and celebrate freedom at our community Passover Seder. Find your place in our community.
There is a place for you at Beth Chaverim.
We continue to pray for the safety of Israel, its defense forces, and all innocent people in the region who are in harm’s way and for the speedy, safe return of those who have been captured.

Rabbi's Corner
For 5784, the Rabbi's Corner will be sharing posts from the History of Racial Injustice calendar published by the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI). Once a doctoral student in African American, Jewish American, and Latin American literature, Rabbi Amy believes it is incumbent upon us all as American Jews, ourselves racially diverse, to keep adding to our historical knowledge by learning from different American experience.

Purim is coming soon and BCRC will be pulling out all stops to celebrate this year. Starting Saturday March 9, Women of BCRC held an adult costume party! Fun was had by all.
