About

Come as you are.

Beth Emet is an engaged community of passionate learners, who wrestle with God, hug one another, sing loudly, (and try to stay in tune).

Together, we embrace life in all its perplexing and thrilling complexities. Affiliated with the Reform movement, our practice of Judaism is steeped in tradition and made fresh every day.

We are seekers, and we are finders.
We believe in God, and we believe in people.
We have great leaders, and we are all leaders.
We believe in teaching, and we believe in learning.
We pray in Hebrew, and we pray in English.
We wear kippot, and we leave our heads bare.
We are accountants, and we are artists.
We wear suits, and we wear jeans.
We are of all ages, and we are ageless.
We have a beautiful building, and we have no walls.
We do good in the world, and we know we can never do enough.
No one can ever put us in a box because we will always be a circle of friends.
Be yourself and BE together.
