We embrace and inspire Jews of all ages with:
Communal celebration of Jewish living:
Meaningful and easy-to-follow services; enjoying a cup of coffee together after a delicious kiddush luncheon; getting together for good times and holidays among friends, in shul or out.
Exceptional Jewish learning:
Rabbi Michael Singer says that teaching is one of his favorite things, and it shows in the fascinating classes he leads and brings to your level, whether you are a newbie or a Torah scholar.
Social connections:
Brith Sholom is “where friends become family” because we have a mix of transplants and Lehigh Valley natives, ages ranging from 9 months to vibrant 90s, and diverse interests and professions, yet are able to forge meaningful relationships. All this in the context of a loving, spiritually engaging, and passionate traditional and evolving Judaism.
The generations need each other, yet many of us today find ourselves setting down roots in new places. When parents live far from their adult children, grandchildren from grandparents, or friends far removed from one another, we find in Brith Sholom a "place to come home to." What kind of place is this Jewish community, located as it is in For more Please click here...

Something Worth Fighting For
The Book of Maccabees describes the hard fought 20 year war (167 - 141 BCE) for Jewish independence in great detail. There were sadly many lives lost including innocent men, women, and children. In fact, 4 out of the 5 famous sons of Matitiyahu (Mattathias) did not live to see the end of the war. Indeed all war is horrible and comes at tremendous loss and sacrifice. But, for our people what they were fighting for meant something even greater - the preservation and survival of our Jewish faith and to live as a free people in our homeland. This was not a war of choice - it was a war of necessity, a just war. Today we recall the heroism of the Maccabees who with God’s help overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to free us from the tyranny of Antiochus and his allies - the holiday of Hanukkah.
