Come As You Are

B’ShERT: Beth Shalom v’Emeth Reform Temple is a Reform synagogue in Ditmas Park, and a congregation dedicated to Judaism as a living and growing faith. Wherever you’re coming from in your relationship with Judaism, this is a place to explore where you want to go.

B’ShERT is a welcoming and inclusive Jewish community for all. Just as the Yiddish word beshert means “meant to be,” this consolidation brings together two communities with rich histories and dynamic memberships.

Welcome to B’ShERT… Come as you are!
