Bet Aviv: A Unique Adult Congregation for the Secular or Observant, Sustaining their Jewish Connections in a welcoming community.

Bet Aviv, in Columbia Maryland, is a Reform congregation that is truly unique in the country in focusing on and attracting adults - especially empty nesters who may (or may not) have had children who have completed their B'nai Mitzvah. Bet Aviv does not offer a school for youngsters. Instead, it offers a rich array of Jewish experiences tailored to adults, including robust adult education, frequent social gatherings and events, meaningful social action opportunities, an active Sisterhood and Men’s Club, and more.

Most importantly, Bet Aviv is a vibrant community attracting those who may feel less inclined to affiliate with no children to raise and educate. It reignites Jewish connections,from the secular to the more observant, in an environment that is welcoming, thoughtful,
and engaging.

With a Rabbi, Cantor, twice-monthly services followed by a friendly Oneg, and a shared home within the Oakland Mills Interfaith Center, Bet Aviv maintains an intimate, community-centered atmosphere. And because we operate without the costs of a youth
education program, a standalone building, or weekly services, dues remain remarkably affordable.

We had a musical weekend at Bet Aviv. First, on Friday night, we joined others to enjoy Shabbat Among Friends in Song with Julie Silver and Sue Horowitz at Oakland Mills Interfaith Center, sponsored by the Jewish Federation.

Then, on Saturday morning, Bet Aviv's Adult Education program enjoyed a visit from Jonathan Palevsky about Jewish composers and music throughout the ages.

It was a very special Shabbat.
