Together, we the members of Congregation Beth Hatikvah have created a vibrant, welcoming and inclusive community celebrating Jewish life. Our spiritual home provides meaningful Jewish experiences with the opportunity to share in lifecycle events, Torah (lifelong learning), Avodah (worship), G'milut Chasadim (acts of loving-kindness) and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).

Important date:  Special Congregational Meeting

February 12 at 12:30 p.m.

As you may know, earlier this year the CBH Board of Directors hired Rabbi Sarah Newmark for a period of one year commencing September 1, 2011 and concluding August 31, 2012. The Board now is required to have congregational approval if we are to offer Rabbi Newmark a longer term contract. This meeting is set for February 12th at 12:30 p.m. It is the board's belief that this meeting will be quite short as we will only have one additional agenda item and that will be the nomination and election of two new Board members.   Due to our by-laws, votes cannot be turned in by proxy and all members who want to vote must be present.  There is one vote per member household allowed.  Additionally, please know that this special meeting will not take the place of our annual congregational meeting that is convened in early June.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Deborah Vaughn, Board president, at your earliest convenience.
