About Temple Beth Am

Temple Beth Am is a small reform temple.  Many of the members have moved out of town, but come back for the holidays.  Our membership consists of about 40 units (families or singles).  We have not been very active since covid and need to get active again. Immediate problem is we need someone for the holidays. Long term we need a rabbi for Shabbat services (mostly over Zoom), an adult ed class (Zoomed), and minor pastoral duties...but we need to get through the holidays first.
