A Message from Rabbi Bellows

April 26, 2026/9 Iyar 5786

Dear Friends,

Over the next several weeks, Beth Am has several opportunities to experience the power of community —there are learning opportunities with Wise Aging, and classes on the Friday night prayer service and how reading Psalms might actually help our Mental well-being! We have volunteer opportunities through Sisterhood, get-togethers, youth group programs, and family education opportunities. There are online classes on Israel and ways to help repair the world through RAC-IL and other organizations. Our Food Pantry is offered twice a month, and we always can use help with food donations and volunteers! Beth Am is a place to land during times of joy and challenge and every point in between.

Below you will find our mission, vision and purpose.

Thank you for being part of our Beth Am Family!

Congregation Beth Am is a vibrant, sacred community dedicated to bringing holiness, joy, and meaning into our lives, our community, and our world.

• We believe each of us is created in the image of God and is uniquely holy.
• We engage in acts of loving kindness, compassion, social justice, and tzedakah. We help heal our world and the community we live in.
• We are committed to supporting the State of Israel.
• We are a congregational family that supports each other, values Torah study, prayer, and contemporary spiritual practices as a means of connecting to God, each other, and ourselves.

You are welcome here.

Choose kindness | Find Joy | Repair the World

Blessings for a good week,

Rabbi Bellows
