Congregation Beth Sholom - Chevra Shas

Welcome to Congregation Beth Sholom-Chevra Shas, an egalitarian Conservative congregation affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment to all people seeking to enhance their Jewish life.

As the Rabbi of this congregation, I am honored to be the first to welcome you to our congregation, even virtually. At CBS-CS, we are all committed to learning, growing, and connecting with our Jewish tradition. So, in that vein, allow me to share some texts from our tradition that are the cornerstones of our values and help us create the community that we strive for.

CBS-CS is a diverse and dynamic Conservative Jewish congregation. Our warm, engaging, knowledgeable rabbi and energetic staff work with a large number of volunteer corps to develop innovative program -- religious, spiritual, educational, pastoral and social -- that appeal to the varied interests of our membership. Our understanding of the imperative to cultivate the future of the Jewish People underlies our commitment to youth. We foster intergenerational connections, formally and informally.

We create, maintain, and utilize a sizeable pool of qualified congregants to lead and participate in our services. Sufficient financial resources enable us to respond to the evolving needs of out congregation, keeping members of all ages actively engaged, using both traditional and modern modalities. We strive to promote relationships with the larger Syracuse Jewish community, as well as with other faith communities. Through all of these endeavors, we are building a community of people living a fuller, more meaningful Jewish life.
