The House of Love - Welcome! Beit Ahavah בֵּית אַהֲבָה, the Reform Synagogue of Greater Northampton, is a joyful, progressive and inclusive spiritual Jewish community affiliated with the Reform movement and Jewish Renewal, a warm and welcoming place for people of all backgrounds. Together we strive to create sacred community, offering many ways to connect with Judaism and heal the world.The Partnership model is an evolving paradigm to invest spiritually and financially as Partners in Jewish community and our congregation. The transition from the more typical word “Membership” to “Partnership” was a simple premise: Each of us is part of something greater than ourselves and each gives something to enhance and enrich our shared exploration of Jewish values, life, meaning and traditions. See below for details about making a financial spiritual investment and Fair Share Dues “Gift of the Heart.” Together with our rabbi Rabbah Riqi Kosovske, our lay leaders, volunteers, partners and community members, we share passions, talents and ideas to accomplish a lot for a small congregation.We create participatory and musical Shabbat and holiday services, involvement and pathways of connection — meaningful life cycle events and support for times of joy and times of challenge; spiritual, creative learning, growth and pastoral care with our Rabbah Riqi; doing projects of Tikkun Olam (healing the world), Tzedek Tzedek (justice, justice) and Chesed (lovingkindness) together; vibrant community and soaring harmonies with music at the High Holydays, year round Shabbats and holidays; year-round and seasonal committees and projects, celebrations, expressive art, peace and projects; supported by the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and Religious Action Center (RAC) for resources and leadership trainings; inspiration, programs and resources from ALEPH Alliance for Jewish Renewal movement, and collaborations with our local interfaith, Jewish community and arts friends; with youth, teens and RUACH learning, Tot Shabbat young families, enriching family education; and opportunities for on-going adult learning, creativity, deepening spirituality and engagement.Why become a Partner at Beit Ahavah?Beit Ahavah is fueled by the love, talent and creative investment of each of our community members.We care about Shabbat and holiday services that are spiritual, musical and meaningful; and deepening our understanding of the Jewish year cycle in ways that enrich our lives and community.We engage deeply with our rabbi, Rabbah Riqi Kosovske, on so many projects of the heart, services, learning and being in the life of the synagogue, our lives and the world.We offer learning in community, with dynamic youth education programs and services tailored to students and families, creative and supportive B’nei Mitzvah experiences, teen connections, and adult programming and learning.
