About Us

In Hebrew, Congregation Bonai Shalom (CBS), means ‘Builder of Peace.’ We are a diverse, multi-generational congregation, founded in 1981 by just a few families who yearned for traditional observance and worship. Today, we remain committed to those values and have over 250 families in our membership and over 90 children being educated by our highly qualified staff.

We strongly affirm the principle of inclusivity in all areas of Jewish life by welcoming all Jews, as full participants in the religious practices of our congregation. We welcome and strive to accommodate people of all abilities, and encourage all members of our community to participate.

Bonai Shalom believes that Torah is available to all; regardless of ability, race, color, economic status, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We welcome as members Jews of all backgrounds and ethnicities, interfaith families, people of various abilities, and individuals of all ages. We encourage our non-Jewish members to participate actively within our community’s religious, social, educational, and organizational life, including alternative practices in cases where tradition limits non-Jews’ involvement in religious rituals.

Bonai Shalom is affiliated with The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism
