As the 4th oldest Reform Jewish congregation in the United States, Congregation Beth Emeth enjoys a rich and interesting history alongside a vibrant, exciting present. Today's Beth Emeth reflects the best of Reform Jewish tradition combined with modern activities that many Capital Region families seek. Everything we do, however, is based on a foundation of respect for welcoming and valuing everyone's place in our congregational community.
CBE is much more than a house of worship. We provide Jewish education for our children and life-long learning for adults, including the opportunity to meet new people and grow new friendships. There are also activities to promote the development of our youth during their most critical years. A variety of activities educate, enrich, and support our congregation's families. Beth Emeth is also known for addressing community needs, as well as those of our own families, through social action, "reyut," and outreach activities and initiatives. And when help is needed by any of our members, a swift and caring response can be counted on.
If you are interesting in being a part of this proud tradition, we would love to hear from you. Please call our Executive Director Gail Kendall at 436.9761 ext 225. After sending you a membership packet with information about the congregation, she can arrange for a tour of the Temple and religious school, a call from a member of the clergy, or a visit from one of us as fellow congregants to answer your questions.
Please note that membership is never precluded by financial constraints, and the discussion of such needs is completely confidential.
If you know of a new neighbor or colleague at work or school who may be interested in membership, please recommend that they contact Gail or one of us, so that they can receive a membership packet and follow-up.
We are very proud of our experienced and caring clergy, staff, and Board members who look forward to meeting you at our fall Membership Dinner. At this event following a Shabbat service, you and your family will be our guests for dinner so that you can get to know our congregation's leadership personally.
The tag line under our logo declares: From Generation to Generation. We hope to hear from you soon.
