Founded in 1957, Congregation Beth Shalom is a dynamic synagogue in the charming town of Red Bank, centrally located in eastern Monmouth County in the Jersey Shore.
Our members, friends, and attendees come from Red Bank, Little Silver, Shrewsbury, Lincroft, Fair Haven, Rumson, Tinton Falls, Middletown, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands, Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Oceanport and other surrounding towns. All are welcome!
We are here to provide an opportunity to anyone who wants to explore their Jewish roots, heritage, and traditions. We are guided by the idea that there should be a place where everyone can feel at home, within a Jewish context. At our Shul and community, open-minded exploration is the key, not background or affiliation.
We don’t believe in labels or divisions. The concept of Ahavat Yisrael, love for every Jew - and respect for all of G-d’s creations - is paramount. Despite our differences, we all share an ancient and vibrant history as a people. Therefore, we welcome and embrace everyone regardless of their level of observance, knowledge, or affiliation. From those with years of learning to those just starting their Jewish journey, we provide an opportunity to anyone who wants to explore their Jewish roots, heritage, and traditions.
Ours is a place where Judaism is celebrated joyfully and meaningfully; where Judaism sheds relevant perspective to our daily lives. With opportunities to expand the mind, excite the heart and touch the soul, we offer a wide range of learning venues, for all ages, where questions are encouraged and embraced.
Our Shul and community is premised on the idea that every individual has an indispensable contribution to make to the totality of the human experience. Come, let’s journey together!
