We Are Welcoming

Bet Tikvah welcomes all who wish to participate in our services and activities. We are a House of Hope for all.

We Are Queer-Centric

Many readings in our prayer book are inclusive of LGBT individuals, but often resonate with all who attend.

We Are Independent

In order to make all worshippers feel welcome, Bet Tikvah is not affiliated with any of the major branches of Judaism.
