Welcome to Our Home on the Web
ברוכים הבאים

Welcome to  Congregation Beth Shalom!  It is our sincere hope everyone can find ways to be involved in our warm and welcoming Jewish community.  Look at our calendar, explore our Shabbat, holiday, cultural, and educational programs, and choose the activities that will be the best for you and your family.  We are a diverse community and take great pride in being The Center for Jewish Life in Greater Modesto and Stanislaus County.  We have programs for seniors, families, young children, adult education, youth activities, conversion classes, and concerts. Whether you're secular, part of an interfaith family, more traditional in your practice, or whatever your Jewish identity, we welcome you to experience our congregation.  We are here year-round with meaningful opportunities for Jewish growth and celebration.

 L'Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom Bochner, the Board of Directors and Staff of Congregation Beth Shalom
