Welcome

Serving the growing Jewish population on the Delmarva Peninsula , Temple Bat Yam is a Reform Jewish congregation committed to the ideals and eternal truths of Judaism and to maintaining the traditions and lessons of our rich heritage. Among the distinctions that make our congregation strong and vibrant is our policy of inclusiveness, whereby we respect the realities and integrity of interfaith marriages and interfaith families. It is our stated desire to invite and encourage participation by all family members and spouses in our congregational life, despite religious diversity within a household. We believe the spiritual interests of both our congregation and those of our interfaith couples and families are better served by inclusion within the nurturing community of Temple Bat Yam.

Worship

Join Rabbi Susan Warshaw and the congregation for Shabbat services every Friday at 8:00pm and Saturdays at 9:30am. Family services are held once a month at 7:00pm during the school year. Saturday services are followed by Torah study and discussion.

Using a special service prepared by the Rabbi and Sisterhood, members conduct one or two services a year. With beautiful music for the ocassion and a special Oneg, their efforts are well received by the congregation.
