Temple Beth Emeth of Mt. Sinai

Temple Beth Emeth of Mt. Sinai A House of Prayer for All People. Reform Synagogue Who Are We? It’s a warm and welcoming place where everyone feels like they belong.

For more than three decades, Temple Beth Emeth has been the little Reform temple you’d always hoped to find. A place where questions are as important as answers as we explore Jewish tradition from a modern perspective. A place where our children learn about their heritage from caring, creative teachers in our innovative religious school, where they make Jewish friends and grow up together. We have

a rabbi who sits down at the edge of the bima during family services once a month to read a storybook with kids of all ages gathered around her. We have a cantor who loves exploring the richness of Jewish music every Shabbat, but especially at our monthly musical services. And every minute of every service is live-streamed via Zoom for those who could not be there in person. Temple Beth Emeth is made up of more than 100 families from the north Central Suffolk area of Long Island. Temple Beth Emeth draws members with a variety of interests and experiences - including many without a Reform Jewish upbringing. A significant percentage of the congregation are part of interfaith marriages. Our rabbi and cantor work hard to make our services meaningful to congregants of all backgrounds, including interfaith families. We are small enough to preserve the sense of warmth and intimacy that fills our sanctuary during Friday night services and large enough to support strong educational programs for both young people and adults. Our services, led by Rabbi Helayne Shalhevet, contain a blend of English and Hebrew. Newcomers and long- time congregants find Temple Beth Emeth's services to be warm, approachable, and egalitarian, with a combination of traditional prayer and modern-day interpretation to accommodate the diversity of our backgrounds. Singing, led by Cantor Lisa Ann Wharton and her guitar, is an essential part of our Shabbat services. And because children are so important to the congregation, worship and events are always designed with their needs in mind.
