Temple Beth Am is a joyfully Jewish Reform community where everyone belongs — a sacred place for celebration, learning, and family! As an intimate, inclusive Jewish community in northern Westchester, we strive to provide a warm, Jewish home for our members and their families. We believe in equality, diversity, and inclusion as religious principles. We welcome everyone equally irrespective of gender, ability, race, age, sexual orientation, religious background, or economic status. At Temple Beth Am’s Religious School, we are committed to creating the finest Jewish learning environment possible and building warm and caring relationships with our students and families. Our educators provide a fun and meaningful Jewish learning experience for children, teens, and parents, helping everyone become a lifelong learner. Our Special Needs Coordinator works with the Education Director, teachers, parents, and children to create learning environments and experiences that meet the needs of every child. From kindergarten through high school, we have programs for children of every age. Our monthly Parent Education Sessions also offer our
adults the opportunity to engage in discussions on a wide variety of topics. Life Stages with our rabbi, Robbie Weiner, are also included in being a member of our congregation. Whether you’re preparing for the happiest of events with a B’nai Mitzvah or the most solemn with a funeral, our rabbi and the entire congregation will be with you during every step. We also offer programs for all ages, including Torah Study, Men’s Club, and Sisterhood for adults, and special Tot Shabbat programs for our very youngest members. Our adult events include everything from movie-and-pizza nights and outings in New York City to discussions on new books and current events. Many of our programs (including all Friday night Shabbat services) are open to the public. Visit our website at templebetham-ny.org for a full schedule, or you can follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter (@TempleBethAmNY).
