Temple Beth Shalom is a warm, welcoming, and egalitarian Jewish community based in Melrose, Massachusetts. We take pride in the fact that people who join our temple have told us they found a “home” at the congregation. We believe that the main purpose of a congregation is to provide a home for its members.<\/p>\n

We work hard to create a spiritual home through the beauty of the Jewish religion, a community home through the many ways we try to connect people with each other, a fulfilling home through our many efforts over the years to support Melrose and its institutions via our social action and larger community outreach efforts.<\/p>\n
