We are a liberal, conservative synagogue located in Hull, MA. We are five blocks from downtown and only two blocks from the beach. Our synagogue uses the Conservative Siddur, happily maintains a Kosher kitchen, and conducts a weekly Minyan.
Temple Beth Sholom is a beit Knesset, a house of assembly. It is here that we come together as a community for celebrations of family and sacred times. It is here that we congregate to break bread together, to enjoy cultural events, to labor for the welfare of the Congregation, and to discuss the issues facing the community.
Temple Beth Sholom is a bet midrash, a house of study. Within these walls, even as was envisioned when the cornerstone was laid, the children of the Jewish community come together to learn about their Jewish heritage, and observe that heritage, and to pass it on to their children and their children's children. And it is within these walls that adults, too, can come to learn (or relearn) their heritage, to connect (or reconnect) with the learning of Torah that is part and parcel of what has shaped the Jewish people for more than three millennia.
Temple Beth Sholom is a beit tefillah, a house of prayer. It is a place where the spiritual life so essential to Jewishness and the human condition can be pursued not only through learning, but in communing with the divine. Those who come and join can enter into dialogue with G-d, can meditate, can contemplate the divine and the link that binds Heaven and Earth and its inhabitants in a perpetual covenant that goes back to Sinai.
