Joining Temple Beth David of the South Shore
Looking for a terrific Temple?
There is so much we can say about our amazing community! Temple Beth 
David is a participatory Reform Jewish Community serving the urban and suburban South Shore communities of Boston. We are welcoming and inclusive, open to individuals from different backgrounds and divergent points of view.
Through lifelong learning and teaching of Torah, we search for meaning, seeking comfort, healing, and celebration in our lives. TBD reaches out to neighbors in the communities where we live and beyond through community service, embracing causes of social justice and providing opportunities to accomplish deeds of loving kindness. Worship at Temple Beth David is open 
to all who seek spiritual and personal growth in Judaism. Our synagogue prides itself on warmth, friendship, music, learning, and helping others. We are proud to be a home for LGBTQ members and families, as well as non-Jews who are exploring Judaism or are Jewish-adjacent (connected to Jews through family or friendship).
Browse around our website to learn more about our one-day-per-week religious school, lifelong learning and Adult Education programs, our Chai Sociaety social group and much more!
At Temple Beth David, 
visitors are always welcome. Feel free to drop in on a Friday evening Shabbat service or Saturday morning Torah study. If you enjoy your experience, and we are confident you will, we would be honored to have you consider membership.
