CBI Rumson is an egalitarian Conservative congregation, affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Our members reflect the full range of contemporary American Jewish experience. Some of us are fourth generation Congregation B’nai Israel members. Some of us were raised within the Reform movement, some of us grew up Conservative, and some were brought up within the Orthodox traditions. Indeed, some of us have not had the benefit of a very Jewish upbringing at all. All of us have found a caring community in Congregation B’nai Israel.

Ohev Shalom is more than a synagogue, more than a religious school, more than a center for life-cycle events. We strive to be a caring community of people like you. We aim to help our congregants on their "Jewish Journeys", finding a greater purpose and meaning in their daily lives. We aspire to make our community and our world better place through active Jewish living informed by Jewish learning.

Any way you say it, Ohev Shalom is the place to find lively activity and meaningful Jewish participation. We invite you to find out why so many Jewish families have chosen Ohev Shalom.

Emet v'emunah. Truth and faith. These are two of the basic principles which guide our congregation. Judaism, for us, is a force which is vibrant and alive. By being true to our faith, we have built a strong and meaningful community here in the Bayshore area of Monmouth County, New Jersey. For Temple Beth Ahm, one of our most important goals is to create a strong sense of family for our members. Beth Ahm means "house of the people".

Temple Beth El is the religious, educational, cultural and social center for approximately 400 Jewish Families. Together, as a congregation, we experience the beauty of our Jewish heritage and explore the meaning of contemporary Jewish life. The members of our congregation, like members of an extended family, share in the observance of each other's simchas and support each other in times of need. We take great pride in the warmth and the caring nature of our synagogue community.

Temple Beth Shalom is a Conservative egalitarian synagogue committed to the active participation of each congregant within a caring, contemporary approach to Judaism. Our Temple offers a variety of proframs and opportunities to be involved within a Jewish community.

We are proud of our facility and all it has to offer. From our Nursery School program to ourAdult Education programs, there is something of interest for everryone. A sense of community and the dedication of our membership has enabled us to continually meet the ongoing needs of our people.

Temple Beth Torah is located in beautiful Wanamassa, New Jersey, just a few miles from the ocean.

TBT means friendly, welcoming congregants; a compassionate, knowledgeable and accessible Rabbi; and a modern, Conservative philosophy where respect for ancient traditions and recognition of the changing needs of the 21st century Jew exist on equal footing.

Established in 2002, Congregation Kol Am is an inclusive congregation that looks to the energy, talents, and creativity of all her members. Whether in ritual, study, social action, administration, religious school, youth activities, or camaraderie, we look to the participation of all our members in our vision to establish a meaningful religious home. Steeped in the tradition of Reform Judaism, we strive to foster a sense of belonging.

Congregation Kol Am seeks to create Jewish "memories" that will span the generations. To achieve this goal, we are committed to the creation of a literate Jewish community, spiritually grounded, and committed to learning, worship, community and social action.

The members of Monmouth Reform Temple strive to create and maintain a community that embodies the ideals and practices of Reform Judaism. To achieve this mission, we set objectives in four aspects of synagogue life: House of Learning (Beit Midrash), House of Worship (Beit Tefilah), House of Assembly (Beit Knesset), and Repair of the World (Tikkun Olam).

Temple Beth Miriam is a liberal congregation which embraces all Jews regardless of their experience, gender, race, sexual orientation, marital status or parental status. We welcome interfaith couples and invite your whole family to drink from our wells. Our mission is to teach Torah and to make it relevant to today's Jew.

TRT religious services are warm, friendly, and, with few exceptions, open to the entire community. We celebrate all Jewish holidays, making young and old feel comfortable and part of the community.

Our close congregational community is dedicated to Jewish growth and commitment, helping our members understand and love their unique Jewish identity with lasting involvement in Jewish life in an atmosphere of equality, without discrimination.

Temple Shalom is a Reform Jewish congregation that welcomes traditional and non-traditional families and individuals. As members, we aspire to create a warm and friendly atmosphere that fosters inclusiveness and connections with others, so that no one feels alone.

We strive to interpret the meaning of Torah and adapt our faith through on-going learning and reflection.

Our congregation, a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, is an integral part of the Jewish community, both socially and spiritually. We are dedicated to "tikkun olam", the repairing of our world, as we encourage advocacy in issues affecting the community, our nation and the world at large.
