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.
We are all Bibas
Yo
u have all seen the news and heard the horrific and barbaric acts against the Bibas family. We all hoped this beautiful ginger family will reunite again. Yarden Bibas, the father of Ariel and Kfir Bibas הי"ד, asked for one thing after receiving the news and identifying his kids “The whole world needs to hear about this”. That is our duty to him, to his family.
The Embassy for Israel in Washington has asked us to participate in a global effort to let the world hear about this. They have asked members of the Jewish community to illuminate your building in orange and post it online nusing the Hashtag #WeAreAllBibas. This gesture would not only show solidarity but also send a powerful message of unity to the Israeli and Jewish communities both here and abroad. While we are unable to illuminate our building here is an example from Argentina.

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.
