Congregation Beth Sholom is a warm, welcoming, lay-led kehillah of about 60 households, providing a Jewish presence in the desert for more than 60 years. The congregation offers a variety of religious, cultural, social and educational opportunities to engage in Jewish life.
Volunteers provide an education program for children from preschool to Bar/Bat Mitzvah. While most services are lay-led, Rabbi Jack Izakson leads High Holiday services and about five Shabbatot a year. There is an active sisterhood, USY group, a library, and a chevrah kadisha (burial society). Adult education programs are taught by congregation members and guest lecturers. Holiday observances are held throughout the year, including Sukkot, the community seder, as well as Purim and Hanukkah parties. Poker and mah jongg night is the first Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m.
On the first Friday of each month, the musical service Shir Chadash begins at 5:30 p.m. The second and fourth Friday night services begin at 7:45 p.m. On the third Friday of the month, a dairy potluck begins at 6 p.m., followed by services at 7:15 p.m. Contact the synagogue by phone or email to confirm service times.
The monthly newsletter, “The Bagel Bugle,” publishes a calendar with special events as well as articles about current activities and issues. A weekly email provides current updates and other information of interest.
The congregation is affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism; however, the members span the range of Jewish practices and beliefs.
