Congregation Beth Ahm

Welcome to Congregation Beth Ahm!

Formed in 1892, Congregation Beth Ahm was established to provide
opportunities to explore and practice Judaism in a warm and approachable environment. We believe in the value of promoting an inviting, caring and welcoming environment where we demonstrate compassion toward others through derech eretz, tzedakah and tikkun olam.

Please join us to experience Congregation Beth Ahm at one of

these upcoming events or click on the calendar to see more.

Outside Shabbat

Friday, August 2 at 6:00pm

Everyone is invited to start Shabbat outside and under the tent. Kabbalat Shabbat services will be in the Ribiat Garden. A nice breeze, the beauty of the garden, familiar melodies, and Beth Ahm friends are the perfect way to begin Shabbat. If you are staying for the oneg (light meal) click here to register by July 29.

Jews and Sports in the Modern World

August 14, 21, and 28 at 7:30pm

Twentieth century Jewish athletes, by participating and excelling in athletic competition, dispelled a deeply entrenched stereotype that Jews are cerebral and bookish and not athletic and physically robust. In this series, Professor Howard Lupovitch will take a close look at why dispelling this stereotype was so important, not only for Jewish athletes but all Jews. Click here to register.
