Formed in 1892, Congregation Beth Ahm was established to provide opportunities to explore and practice Judaism in a warm and approachable environment. We continue to fulfill this mission through our core values.
Conservative: We believe in the value of weaving Jewish traditions and ritual with flexibility and modernism.
Egalitarian: We believe in the value of equal opportunity and participation in
congregational life.
Learning: We believe in the value of nurturing religious and spiritual growth through the exploration of Torah and Jewish thought.
Family: We believe in the value of community within our multi-generational and
child-friendly congregation.
Warmth: We believe in the value of promoting an inviting, caring and welcoming environment where we demonstrate compassion toward others through Derech Eretz, Tzedaka
and Tikkun Olam.
Please join us on Shabbat or at an upcoming event to experience the beauty of our synagogue community. Or, contact us for more information:

Nov 28The Jews of the Danube
Wednesday, Nov 28th 1:00p to 2:00p
From its headwaters in Germany’s Black Forest to its final destination in the Black Sea, the Danube River flows through ten countries and over ten centuries of Jewish history. Great cities like Vienna and Budapest punctuate its course through East-Central Europe, the cradle of much of Ashkenazic civilization. We will explore the history of the great Jews and Jewish communities of the region, celebrating the magnificent cultural achievements of Danubian Jewry, commemorating its tragic destruction in the twentieth century—and examining signs of incipient rebirth as the irrepressible, exuberant spirit of Jewish creativity expresses itself along the shoreline in the 21st century. This video lecture series features Professor Henry Abramson of Touro College in Brooklyn NY. For more info contact Nancy by phone (248) 737-1931 or e-mail nancyellen879@att.net -
