Lovely modern structure with amazing massive wooden beamed ceiling and great windows. Beautiful Torah ark with gorgeous Torahs inside. A young new Rabi presided over the prayers and Torah reading. Great synagogue with lots of room for prayer, events, study & parking.
We had our wedding here on 7.7.24 and it could not have been more beautiful! From the garden for the ceremony to the facade to the reception hall, it was a dream come true. It can be rustic or elegant, or both! Photos by Love Me Do Photography. Flowers by A Night in Bloom.
Bet Am is the perfect blend of inclusion and tradition. It is completely egalitarian, and welcoming to all, regardless of background or family composition. We especially appreciate that families, even with little kids, are always welcome; it makes the space more joyous for everyone!
An amazing and heimisch place. All are welcome and accepted in this loving community. Congregants are an engaged, intellectually curious, and generous group. Countless opportunities to get involved, from contributing to services, tikkun olam, gardening, helping put together art shows in the synagogue gallery, working at our renowned crafts fair… all with a friendly, down-to-earth group of people. Top-notch religious school as well, plus ongoing adult education. You must experience Bet Am to appreciate how different this place is from all other synagogues in the area.
Bet Am Shalom was a fabulous place to host our wedding. Their coordinator, Danielle, was kind and organized and endlessly positive. The space itself is gorgeous, with many indoor and outdoor options, loads of natural light and windows, light wood, and high ceilings. If your wedding will involve many pieces (shmorg, tisches, bakdeken, ceremony, yichud, reception) there is plenty of space - and then some! The shul is also conveniently located for public transit. I can’t recommend it enough!!
