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."

There are five mitzvot that the Rabbis create regarding the holiday of Purim: 1) Hearing the Megillat Esther, 2) Having a feast, 3) Giving mishloach manot, 4) Gifts to those in need, and 5) To be joyous. Four of these mitzvot can be accomplished with relative ease and intentionality. Preparing the feast, going to the synagogue to hear the Megillah, baking or buying the goodies for mishloach manot, and even contributing and designating money, clothes, or food to those in need. Yet, the last mitzvah is complicated. We are commanded to be joyous. But, what if we just don’t feel in the celebratory mood?
