Mission and Values

Our Mission

Temple Beth Shalom of Cambridge (Tremont Street Shul) is an independent, participatory and intergenerational Jewish community, with a range of minyanim, including egalitarian, partnership, and orthodox. We serve the local Jewish population through prayer and ritual, social gatherings, chesed, and learning.

Our Community Values

Unified Diversity

We value coming together across our differences for events and observances. We strive to build a community that feels heimish and is accessible for all. We know that we are stronger when we build connections with each other through understanding and with empathy.

Communal Observance

As a community, we follow Jewish tradition and practices. We welcome and appreciate our members’ varied and evolving personal Judaic practices based on their backgrounds, customs, and personal spiritual growth.  

Chesed

We support each other during times of joy and sorrow. We participate in efforts to promote social good in the broader community.

Participation

We have a strong tradition of member participation and volunteerism in all parts of community life: participant-led services and communal singing, sharing of knowledge and skills, and organizing of varied shul events.
