Temple Bet Yam was founded in 1993. Our members come from a blend of traditional and interfaith backgrounds. The congregation is diverse, open, and caring, with a sense of belonging and togetherness. Shabbat services are typically held twice a month, depending on holiday observances and life cycle events. Music is an integral part of our service.
