Welcome to Beth Chaverim: Our House of Friends!
Beth Chaverim means “House of Frien
ds” 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.
Congregational Israel Trip
In November 2018 Rabbi Amy and a group of congregants joined with Temple Beth El of Riverside CA and members of Temple Sinai in Rochester for an exciting trip to Israel. Here is a small selection of photos. See our photo albums (must be logged in) for many more, and read our blog for details!

BCRC News and Notes
Interfaith Event Featuring Visiting Scholar
Come for One Evening or Both
Please join in us on Friday for a communal Sabbath study, service, meal, and discussion, led by Rabbi Charnes, to experience the depth and breath of what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel has rightly and most profoundly called our “sanctuary in time.”
Saturday’s program will feature a unique discussion between Rabbis (Rabbi Charnes and Rabbi Amy) and Pastors (from Community Lutheran Church, Sterling) on how Judaism and Christianity understand the nature of sin, forgiveness, and atonement; the function of law, faith, and grace; the notion of righteousness; what it means to be created in “the image of God;” and how these abstract doctrines and theologies can animate our sacred practices.
