Help Beth Am Build!

To Beth Am's friends and accomplices:

We are currently engaged in an ambitious capital project to better serve our members and neighbors.   This will include major renovations to our nearly 100-year-old building, a 8,700 sq ft addition and a community facing courtyard.  Contribute here to:

1. Support West Baltimore at a time when results-oriented investment is needed.

2. Support an important anchor in your own Reservoir Hill or Baltimore community.

3. Support Black-Jewish relations that go deeper than dialogue or service projects.

4. Support Jewish communal life that is broad, non-judgmental, inclusive* and visionary.

*Judaism is not a proselytizing faith.  Our committment to our Reservoir Hill neighborhood is about engagement, learning, service and support.

Beth Am members have given generously, but we need   friends, neighbors and allies to help close the gap!  With your help, we will break ground this summer!


In addition, we hope to achieve 100% participation from our congregants.  If you are a Beth Am member, in stead of contributing on this GoFundMe page, please click here to learn how you can give and help us trigger a significant matching gift based on percentage of congregant participation!


About Us:
Beth Am was established in Baltimore's historic Reservoir Hill neighborhood in 1974 in a grand moorish 1922 synagogue building at a time of great upheaval, urban abandonment and migration. Our community strives to honestly confront the nexus of history and geography that marks our thriving congregation's presence in Central-West Baltimore.  We support equitable development of our neighborhood. We seek to engage our neighbors by listening to, learning from and working with them, softening boundaries and inviting conversation, cultural exploration and greater understanding.

We aspire to be "In, For and Of " our historically Jewish and Black neighborhood.
