COVID-19 Update

With heavy hearts, we must announce that the CBH building will continue to remain closed for the foreseeable future. Your Board of Directors is committed to the value of pikuach nefesh, the health and safety of our Jewish Community. We will reopen, but not until we have the necessary safety protocols in place. In the meantime, we will continue to provide virtual gatherings. We are committed to transparency throughout this process and will let you know as we make decisions. We thank you for your patience as we navigate in these unprecedented times. Be sure to subscribe to our E-news to stay up to date on the latest events, and to access our Zoom link.

Welcome to Congregation Beth Hatikvah!

Together, we have created a vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community celebrating Jewish life. Our spiritual home provides meaningful Jewish experiences with the opportunity to share in lifecycle events, Torah (lifelong learning), Avodah (worship), G’milut Chasadim (acts of loving-kindness), and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).  

  

We welcome empty nesters, young families, singles, LGBTQ+ individuals and families, interfaith families, Jews by choice, people of all races and ethnicities, and people with disabilities.  

  

Whether you grew up attending Hebrew school or whether you’re just beginning to learn about Judaism, there is a home for you here at Congregation Beth Hatikvah, and we hope that you will join us soon!

Racial Justice

Being Black in America is its own journey within the journey of just being human, and living, and discovering who you really are on a soul level. Then there’s being Black and Jewish. And then there’s being Black, Jewish, married to a white Jew, and having bi-ethnic Jewish kids. It’s another journey, not an easy one at times, and instead of getting easier as I get older, we seem to be facing more challenges.
