What is Bet Alef?
Our name means “The House of the One.” And that house is big enough to include every one. We are an inclusive, progressive, independent Jewish community deeply rooted in the enduring evolving wisdom of our ancient texts and traditions, yet unafraid to borrow and build from other sources in the service of offering a transformative personal spiritual encounter to all who come under our roof. We are not your old-school shul! And the best way to meet us is to come to one of our Shabbat services.

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Berthold Auerbach, German-Jewish poet.

Our annual meeting is coming up quickly. Join us as we discuss important matters as a community: our budget, programming for next year, and celebrating the wonderful year we've had. We will hear updates from our staff and our board, and make plans for the coming year together. We need a quorum for our voting, so please make sure to save the date or prepare your proxy for this important annual meeting!
