Temple Beth Am is Bayonne’s Reform congregation,
affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism.

Reform Judaism is the modern interpretation of our
traditional Jewish heritage. The eternal elements of
Judaism are expressed in a language and form that
is meaningful to the contemporary mind and spirit.

Ceremonies and services add beauty and dignity to
Jewish life and lead to a fuller appreciation of
Jewish moral, ethical, and religious values.

Membership in Temple Beth Am will unite you
with your People and your heritage. You and your
family will become partners in the growth and life
of our synagogue.

You will share in the joy and satisfaction
of being part of a dynamic center of religious,
educational, cultural, and social activities.

 

Temple Beth Am is accessible to all as there are no stairs to enter or within the building.
