Beth David is an intimate, caring and vibrant community for Reform Jewish worship, learning and personal growth. We encourage inquiries from all prospective members.

Many of our members are interfaith couples who are committed to establishing a Jewish home, and the non-Jewish spouse is welcome at all synagogue events as a part of our community. Beth David is a proud partner of 18 Doors, formerly Interfaith Family; the premiere resource supporting interfaith couples exploring Jewish life and inclusive Jewish communities. 18 Doors offers educational content; connections to welcoming organizations, professionals, and programs; resources and trainings for organizations, clergy, and other program providers.

Additionally, we also warmly welcome LGBTQ, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning members interested in joining us.

It is the policy of Beth David to consider family units as two adults living in a marriage, civil union, or committed relationship, with or without children in the household, and without regard to individual religious beliefs of each spouse or partner.

Beth David and its Religious School offer a wide range of spiritual and educational programs. We provide a rich learning environment to share our values — Torah, social action, (tikkun olam — repairing the world), (tzedakah – charity), the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Our Religious School features small, intimate classes where each child receives personal attention and families enjoy a single Bar or Bat Mitzvah experience. We do not have a waiting list and currently have openings in many classes, so we encourage interested families to call for further information.

Belonging to a small synagogue means feeling like you are a part of the community. To get the most from your Beth David experience, we suggest that all new members get to know our community in the following three ways:

Rabbi Beth Kalisch is someone you can sit down and talk with! She wants to get to know all of her congregants personally, and answer any questions or concerns you might have.  Call 610-896-7485 x100 to make an appointment.

Learn…Pray…Nosh…Several Community Shabbatot convene throughout the year on Saturday mornings where our students attend school on Saturday rather than Sunday. In lieu of Torah Study, Rabbi Kalisch or another learned scholar conducts a learning experience for our adults, and then we all assemble to pray and eat together as one community.  The schedule is: 9:30am Religious School for students and Life Long Learning for adults; 11:00am Community Shabbat Service, 12:15pm Shabbat Luncheon.

Dive into Jewish life! Choose a topic that interests you the most from a list to be provided (or attend them all!) to study with our rabbi or cantor and learn more about related activities at Beth David.  Dates TBD.

Plan to join us for dinner and services in your honor. We also encourage you to take full advantage of your new Beth David membership by Getting Involved. Join Beth David Men (BDM), Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), or Beth David Youth BethDY. Help us “repair the world” with our many Social Action endeavors. Exercise your mind with adult learning opportunities. Participate in the varied family activities offered by our Religious School. Come together to worship, celebrate, schmooze, and have a good time.

We look forward to having you as part of our Jewish community.
