Temple Beth Sholom –
Temple Beth Sholom (TBS) is a village community in the heart of the urban Bay Area. We are a small and growing congregation (currently 120+ member families), with a large preschool and an innovative after school program. We are the principal Jewish community and Jewish education hub serving the rich diversity of Jewish families in Central Alameda County, including many Jewish families of color and multiracial Jewish families, mixed-heritage (interfaith) families, and bilingual Jewish families (mostly English and Spanish). We are intentionally independent to allow for innovative programming alongside tradition to serve our diverse community, and our members come from the full spectrum of Jewish and other backgrounds. Climate resilience and justice are a central focus of our community, including our youth programs.
Following a complete “reboot” three years ago, TBS is emerging as a synagogue to watch, becoming known as early adopters of innovative approaches to trends in synagogue membership, education and youth programs, relevance, and community resiliency. Members recently built a vegetable garden and are planting a pollinator garden, and gardening is part of the youth programs.

The youth programs –
TBS currently has four youth programs:
TBS’s after school program is designed to be a Jewish summer camp and education program during the school year! The program is recognized as an innovative approach to delivering high quality Jewish educational experiences – both informal and formal – in the context of after school care, providing the Jewish enrichment that families dream of with the childcare they need. Like TBS, the program has a special focus on environmental and outdoor education. The program currently serves just over 50 children in grades TK through 7th, and is expanding. The program serves a diverse population of mostly Jewish students, with a significant number of students of other backgrounds. Staff transport students from three local schools by van.
TBS school break camps continue the Jewish summer camp fun vibe on school district staff development days, during some weeks when schools are on break, and several weeks during the summer (exact dates to be determined).
TBS’s B’ Mitzvah program is managed by the Jewish Educator / B’ Mitzvah Coordinator in close collaboration with the Rabbi, Cantor, and Youth Programs Director. It is integrated into the after school.
TBS is currently forming a teen program for our small but growing post-B’ Mitzvah cohort. This program will meet less often than the other programs.
