President’s Welcome

Welcome to Congregation B’nai Tikvah’s home on the internet. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us.

Our Congregation, founded in 1976 by twenty local families, is a proudly egalitarian, modern Conservative congregation affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Our membership is active and diverse: interfaith families, Jews by choice, young singles, couples just starting out, families with school-age children, empty nesters, retirees, and everything in between.  Our religious backgrounds range from traditionally observant to not raised Jewish and together we have built a congregation that blends tradition with change and provides our members with opportunities to engage with Judaism and enjoy a sense of community.

Congregation B’nai Tikvah regularly gives back to the communities that surround us, providing a variety of social, social action, educational and cultural programs that extend beyond our congregational membership. Our wonderfully charismatic new Rabbi, Jeremy Fine, and his family joined us this past July and we are thrilled to have them here. Rabbi Fine and our Hazzan, Hery Chulef, are a great clergy team. Join us for services, I know you’ll agree! We warmly welcome anyone to attend any of our weekly services.  Please check our calendar for specific times.

Our goals for B’nai Tikvah’s future remain much the same as those of the twenty founding families—to provide a welcoming home for those seeking a Conservative congregation, a place pray, celebrate, learn, and grow. I am thrilled that you are interested in becoming part of the B’nai Tikvah family and look forward to an opportunity to meet you soon!

Shalom, 

Cindy Lieb

President, Congregation B’nai Tikvah
