A Letter from Rabbi Gary Atkins
Shalom! I am happy to welcome you to Beth Hillel Synagogue where we take pride in welcoming all newcomers. Don't take my word for it, come on in and experience Beth Hillel Synagogue.
Beth Hillel Synagogue is a diverse community offering many paths toward religious and spiritual fulfillment for our membership. You will experience everything from our religious school and services to my rabbinical classes, and adult education programs, We offer a monthly Schmooze and Lunch, program with noted speakers. Our Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Mr. And Mrs. Club are active in the synagogue and our surrounding community.
Our approach to Judaism is open and egalitarian and, at the same time, traditional and committed to the precepts of Conservative Judaism.
Beth Hillel offers our membership a community, a sense of family and belonging that is precious and enriching. The American society is very mobile and often splintered. Beth Hillel is a place many call home. It is here with extended families celebrate their simchas, their joys together and comfort each one another in difficult times.
If you are not a member, I look forward to having you join us. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the Synagogue.
