Temple Beth Shalom, also known as the Tremont Street Shul, is a warm, friendly, traditional Jewish synagogue located near the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts. We embrace a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and styles of worship. We hold a spirited Friday night service, and on Saturday morning both egalitarian and traditional services as well as a sit-down Kiddush lunch. Children, from infants on up, are especially welcome at our services. More information on our worship services. | More about our community.
