Beth Tikvah is an egalitarian Jewish community established under the umbrella of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Members come together because Judaism is their joy and passion. They want to celebrate with each other, their community and their children and are committed to fostering a Jewish spiritual experience through participatory and egalitarian services that are at once traditional and innovative.

Beth Tikvah is a place of Jewish learning, spiritual growth and communal participation. Members can study traditional teachings in a way that is meaningful in our time and in our world. It is a welcoming and inclusive community, at once vibrant and caring. The Beth Tikvah community has a close connection to the state of Israel and Zionism. Beth Tikvah defines itself as a family-friendly community. Jewish learning is a cornerstone of programming, with opportunities for people of all backgrounds. Visitors who wish to discover what Beth Tikvah has to offer are welcome.

Aside from weekly worship services and holiday observances, Beth Tikvah offers adult education, community events and social events. We also provide for Life Cycle ceremonies and observances and strive to provide Yahrzeit minyans upon request. The programs connect the community with the people of Israel and to the state of Israel. Beth Tikvah supports social service and Tikkun Olam.

Beth Tikvah is led by Rabbi Ammos Chorny, an experienced spiritual leader ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary. Born and raised in Bogota, Columbia, Rabbi Chorny brings an international flavor to his pulpit. He is a man of great learning and has a profound ability to share it. Rabbi Chorny’s wide range of experience includes being a chaplain in the United States Army. He served, among other places, in Saudi Arabia. Aside from English and Hebrew, Rabbi Chorny is fluent in Spanish, German and Yiddish.
