Welcome to Beth Chaverim : Our House of Friends!
Bet
h Chaverim means "house of friends” in Hebrew, and that is what you will find here. We are a welcoming community, connecting with each other and centuries of Jewish tradition. We celebrate our diversity. We are young families and empty nesters, teens and seniors, interfaith and same sex couples, Jews by birth and Jews by choice.
We are filled with energy, warmth and spirituality. We are more than a congregation. We are family, we are neighbors, and we are friends.
There is a place for you at Beth Chaverim.
Sanctuary and Social Hall Renewal
Our new bimah is complete, in time for the High Holy Days! We’re almost at the finish line of our Sanctuary and Social Hall Renewal! To finish Phase 2 of this project, we need YOUR support so that we can construct:
• A custom built ark set into stone wall niche
• Tree-of-life wood-carved relief on ark doors
• Adjustable tilt torah table and matching lecterns
• Wood grained flooring (planned for Summer 2026)
YOUR support is needed to raise $75,000 by Spring 2026. Contribute to the Sanctuary and Social Hall Renewal by clicking here or using our new giving portal powered by Givebutter to make the new sanctuary a reality!
We 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.
