Membership

We are a growing Jewish community of over 275 families. Our Temple was founded in 1891 and has remained a vital force in the Asheville area community since that time.

We pride ourselves on our Religious School, which starts with pre-Kindergarten and continues through Confirmation. Beth HaTephila also offers Adult Education, Sisterhood, Brotherhood, Outreach (serving interfaith marriages), Hebrew classes and other special programs such as Social Justice and interfaith events. Warm and inspiring Shabbat services are held each Friday evening at 7:30 p.m.. On the second Shabbat of each month we hold a "Shabbat Seder," which is a family oriented community dinner preceding the Shabbat services.

Visitors are always warmly welcomed. Please come and join us for services and refreshments so that we may have the opportunity to greet you personally.

Our dues structure is on a voluntary fair-share basis. We provide the guidelines and rely on our members to set their financial commitment.

You are invited to contact us if you would like further information or membership details. We would be happy to add you to the mailing list for the "Menorah," our monthly bulletin. Please provide the information below so that we may supply you with the information you request.
