About Beth Samuel

The Beth Samuel Jewish Center serves Jews in the northern and western suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA - including the North Hills, Sewickley, Moon, Cranberry, Mars, Aliquippa, Robinson, and elsewhere in Beaver, Butler and Allegheny Counties. Enhanced by the diversity of our members, we are a community-based synagogue that includes families from Conservative, Reform, Orthodox, and Reconstructionist backgrounds. We continue to expand our religious and educational programming to accomodate a variety of needs. The Beth Samuel extended family is currently one-hundred households strong.

 

Our House

The synagogue's building, completed in 1961, features a light-filled sanctuary, a large social hall with a stage, a professional kosher kitchen, seven airy classrooms, a library, and offices for our Rabbi and Office Manager. The facility is enhanced by contemporary stained-glass windows in the sanctuary, social hall, and around the main entrance to the synagogue.

 

Our Religious School

Our religious school has seven classrooms, including a computer lab, a youth lounge, a pre-school play space and traditional children's classrooms. We provide educational programs from September through May on Sunday mornings for children ages 3 through teens. Adult programming occurs throughout the year on varied days and times to accommodate the schedules of our entire congregation.
