Welcome to Temple Beth Am  

Located in Seattle’s “Jewishly Happening” North End, we are a Reform synagogue committed to helping Jews and their loved ones build a joyful, spiritual, caring and egalitarian community.

We welcome the entire spectrum of our Jewish community: people of all ages, races and abilities; interfaith families; and people who are single, partnered, straight, gay, lesbian and transgendered. As a vibrant center of learning, we enable each member to reflect the holy. We stand together in times of need and work together to bring about tikkun olam, healing of the world.
