Main Line Reform Temple Beth Elohim is part of a larger community of Reform congregations, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
"Gates of Prayer," the Reform prayerbook, expresses our spiritual goal: recognition of the traditional principles of Judaism while redefining its essence in modem terms.
Just as Reform Judaism is an on-going faith which seeks to confront the serious dilemmas of our time, so Reform Jews are urged - and empowered - to use their religion to find an ethical and moral direction for themselves.
