Our Mission

At Beth Chaim Congregation, we are reimagining how we experience and celebrate Judaism, and how we are a source of belonging that enriches and uplifts the lives of our members. Our approachable and flexible worship, grounded in tradition yet modernized, embraces spirituality and soulful Jewish practice.

We welcome with warmth all who seek a connection to Jewish life regardless of their religious beliefs and experiences. We embrace Jews of all backgrounds as well as those new to Judaism and interfaith relationships, and meet our congregants wherever they are on their Jewish journey.

Our Values

From preschool on, the children are instilled with the Jewish values of Tzedakah, Tikkun Olum and Chesed. My son has made close friendships that will continue with him through religious school.”

Naomi Member since 1999 “We joined Beth Chaim Congregation so our children could establish their Jewish identities and become a bar mitzvah. In the process, we have found our “Jewish home,” a warm, welcoming, and generous community that has embraced and supported my commitment to social action.”

Sue Member since 2000 “After a devastating loss, BCC supported our family starting with Rabbi Dan’s comfort through the immediate shock, then being held by the extended BCC community through Shiva, meals, cards, calls and visits, and finally through a guided “grief group” that helped several women with their unique grief process through education, prayer, and ritual. BCC not only shows up through life’s simchas, but also during the darkest days.”
