Past

Our First Home

Temple Sholom started its life in Edgemont on what used to be a Lutheran church on Ross Avenue.

Small Beginnings

The founders also wanted Temple Sholom to be a warm welcoming and smaller synagogue.   Our size is still limited in our constitution today.

Temple Sholom, since it started out very small, became very volunteer oriented.   Its volunteers, particularly the Sisterhood, ran the daily operations of the synagogue. Members of HUC faculty provided adult education and helped establish a religious school curriculum.   Temple Sholom still maintains that strong volunteer and DIY mentality.
