Congregation Beth Shalom
Clifton Park

Welcome to Beth Shalom!

Serving Southern Saratoga County for the last 47 years, we are so excited to welcome you into our building, services, and synagogue family.  While our unique membership comes from all branches of Judaism, we lean towards liberal Conservative practices and embrace interfaith, LGBTQA, and all our diverse friends and families.  Have a question?  Our Board and members are here to help.  Poke around our website to learn more about us and contact us today so we can learn more about you!  We are so glad you are here and can’t wait to greet you in person! We have several different membership options and one may be perfect for you. Please contact our Membership VP for additional information.

About our Rabbi

Rabbi Amiel Tuvia Monson (Rabbi Ami) is our Beth Shalom Rabbi. He is a compassionate and caring Rabbi who has revitalized our congregation. Rabbi Ami is the Jewish Community Chaplain for Jewish Family Services of Northeastern New York and Daughters of Sarah Community & Massry for Seniors. He also is a Hebrew school teacher. For more information, please see the Clergy Page, or better yet, join us for a Kabbalat Shabbat service, Friday evenings at 6:30pm.

Mitzvah Opportunities

We have a chance for volunteers to participate in a mitzvah by helping a refugee family who have settled in our area. Rabbi Beverly Magidson has forwarded this request to us.

The United States Committee on Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) is looking for volunteers to assist with a small Afghan refugee family located in Ballston Spa. The family consists of two older adults and two adult children. Most of what they need is daytime transportation to doctor appointments. They are living with family; their English is pretty good. USCRI would like to run background checks for volunteers (at their expense) but will not require it in this case.

Please contact Margaret Slotnick at mslotnick@uscri-albany.org
