Anshe Sholom Synagogue

Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel, a modern orthodox synagogue, is the home of a diverse, Torah-oriented community in Lakeview. Our community provides religious, social and educational activities for all ages, including daily minyans, both morning and evening. We welcome everybody, regardless of how religious or observant you think you are, or think you are not. The prayer books, in English/Hebrew and transliterated versions, give congregants a way to be more fully involved. Our doors are open to all who can appreciate the beauty of the Jewish tradition and want to discover the blessings of a Shabbat and holiday community.

Our vital and welcoming membership enjoy a large assortment of adult and children’s programs. Spanning a wide range of activities, including picnics and cook-outs, Shabbat and holiday dinners, creative family activities and numerous learning opportunities, we share a variety of Jewish experiences throughout the year. Scholars-in-residence, learning groups, political discussion, and international musical events typify our commitment to explore the diverse aspects, interests and backgrounds of Jewish experience. The programming we are able to offer is responsive to the needs and interests of our members. We encourage each person to grow in his or her own direction and pace, toward a deeper and more meaningful Torah-conscious life.
