Discover our progressive approach to Judaism!

"At Beth Or we encourage our members, adults and children, to think for themselves and to develop ethical values and a commitment to spiritual growth."

Rabbi David Oler, Ph.D.

Shalom! Welcome to Congregation Beth Or, a warm, inclusive, caring community committed to religion from a progressive Reform perspective. At Beth Or, religion is about aspiring to be the best human beings we can be. Our name, which means “House of Light,” symbolizes our enlightened approach to spiritual pursuits. A full-service progressive congregation, we are distinguished by our creative, contemporary liturgy, vibrant, child-friendly religious school, and extensive involvement in community service.

Congregation Beth Or is more than a local synagogue. Because of our unique ideology and distinctive character, we draw from a wide geographic radius. We are committed to pluralism. Everyone is welcome, and intermarried families participate fully in congregational life. Our congregants are diverse, freethinking, and friendly. We enjoy learning, celebrating, serving, and socializing together.

Congregation Beth Or – You’ll be glad you found us!
