Temple Shalom is an egalitarian Conservative synagogue in Salem, Massachusetts, just two blocks from Salem Harbor. Founded in 1898 as Congregation Sons of Jacob, it is the longest established synagogue on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Temple Shalom is an egalitarian, multigenerational congregation that warmly welcomes diversity, spirituality and community. We value Jewish living and the communal principles of Tzedakah and Tikun Olam. Tzedakah, translated as "doing the right thing," refers to every aspect of our lives and actions. Tikun Olam is translated as "mending the world" and reminds us that meeting the needs of the world is God’s work, endowing our lives with holiness.

Temple Israel is well known as a diverse spiritual community. While the Learners' Minyan, children's services, and family services encourage participation, other members simply enjoy the vibrancy and warmth they feel during the High Holy Day services. Many congregants find meaning and support in the weekly Shabbat services, the morning and evening Minyan, and personal life-cycle events. Temple Israel welcomes new members.

Our mission embodies the three traditional roles of a synagogue: a Beit Tefillah, a place of worship and celebration; a Beit Midrash, a house of study, encouraging and supporting life-long Jewish learning; and a Beit Knesset, a community center, fostering caring and a sense of belonging.

The mission of Temple Emunah is to perpetuate Judaism by maintaining an egalitarian, Conservative community, linked to God and Klal Yisrael through religious, educational, cultural and social activities in order to instill in its members a common bond of mitzvot (ethical values and actions).

We reflect very warm, accepting, personalized, and intimate bonds among the members of our Temple Emeth family. Traditional worship in an egalitarian setting, strong rabbinical support, opportunities for new friendship and spiritual growth, and deep commitment to the State of Israel, are all part of our priorities and philosophy.

Temple Emanuel is a warm, welcoming, diverse Conservative congregation that: inspires our members to a love of God, Torah and Israel; builds lasting relationships that provide each of us with strength and support in life's hard times, shared joy in life's good times, and friendship at all times; transmits a love of Jewish living from generation to generation; helps our members make ordinary days holy by filling our lives with the mitzvot God has given to make our lives matter. In pursuing these sacred purposes, Temple Emanuel offers the best of big and small: the resources that allow for choices, and the communities of shared passion that allow for intimacy.

Our mission is to: maintain a Jewish house of worship; train our children in the religion, traditions and culture of the Jewish people; strenghten the bonds which unite us with the Jewish people throughout the world; contribute to the moral and physical well-being of the general community; reinforce the spiritual foundations upon which our civilization rests.

It is the mission of Temple Beth Sholom to create and provide a dynamic, friendly, caring, and spiritually rich environment for its members, to cultivate and strengthen the bonds of understanding of our Jewish heritage and tradition, and to foster meaningful connections for Jewish learning, celebration, social activities, and community social action... to help build and sustain a vibrant Jewish community in Metrowest.

To serve the Jewish community.

Why does our synagogue exist? To celebrate the holy, to grow prideful, fluent participants in Jewish life, and to lend our willing hearts and hands to strengthening the share of God, Torah, and Israel in today’s world. Why do we as individual exist? This is a surpassing question – only answerable in the choices and commitments we make throughout the course of our lifetime. Our aspiration is that some meaningful portion of your purpose-driven life may be fulfilled through connection, engagement, and immersion in the life of our synagogue. As with most synagogues, energies collect around learning, celebrating, helping, and sharing. What makes our approach unique, we feel, is the kind of Judaism (morally powerful, accepting, intellectually alive) we celebrate, and the kind of Jews (curious, passionate, committed) you’ll find here.
