| Our Facilities |
Congregation Beth Or, founded in 1960 by ten families, moved into its home in the spring of 1969. This inviting, one-story architect-designed brick structure is indeed a "House of Light" with large expanses of glass facing a serene, landscaped inner courtyard. Despite its convenient location near the tri-state interchange, our setting is secluded and tranquil -- set back on 6 ½ acres of open space and bordered by high foliage on three sides. The site has ample off-street parking and a children's playground. In fall, ducks and geese alight on our spacious front lawn, and the open roof of our sukkah - available for members' use throughout Sukkot -- bows from the weight of the greens and holiday decorations lovingly placed there.

Our main sanctuary |
Our congregational life centers on two gathering spaces, one large and
the other more intimate, used for services and other events. High beamed
ceilings, brick-and-wood interiors, plants, and works of contemporary
art add to the warmth of these spaces. Off the foyer are the rabbi's
study, administrative office, memorial alcove, and a handsomely appointed
library. The library, furnished with comfortable reading table and chairs,
offers a selection of books, magazines, and audiovisual materials on Judaism
for both adults and children. |
