We provide Spiritual, Cultural and Educational activities...

We share our Jewish heritage with the greater Tri-Valley community...

The Beth Chaim Family is a congregation with vibrant Jewish spirit - sharing friendships and simchas

Compassion that is evident in times of need and how we reach out to the community to offer support in acts of tikun olam

Programs for adults and children that respond to the needs and interests of our members as well as many community-wide Jewish and secular organizations

We honor and embrace all who choose Beth Chaim as their spiritual home, including interfaith familes and the LGBTQ community

A Personal Welcome to Beth Chaim

dan small new The traditional words of welcome in the Jewish tradition are “Baruch Habah B’Shem Adonai” which is usually translated as, “Blessed Are You in the Name of God.” I prefer the translation, “It is a blessing that you have come, to make us all aware that it is through relationship that we are brought into the presence of God.” Our people have always known that one of the most vital spiritual avenues – ways we can experience the mystery that is God -- is through relationship.
