Congregation Beth Sholom

Our Story

Congregation Beth Sholom is Rochester, New York’s largest Modern Orthodox and Zionist synagogue. Led by our charismatic and inspirational spiritual leader, Rabbi Avi Kilimnick, Congregation Beth Sholom offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our synagogue is a community resource for every member’s full life, from birth, to B'nei Mitzvah, marriage, and in times of need.

As a Modern Orthodox synagogue we stress the importance of spiritual and religious growth, chesed projects, daily minyan, Torah study, love and support for Eretz Yisroel and transmitting proper values to our children and future generations. Congregation Beth Sholom welcomes people of all backgrounds and levels of observance, creating a spirited chevra that makes our members very proud to be here for each other - and for you!

We invite you to learn more about our congregation, to visit us, to join us for Shabbat services, and to contact us with any questions. Our Rabbi and staff always welcome your inquiries.
