Welcome to Beth David!

We are pleased to welcome you to the Greensboro Jewish community and your interest in Beth David Synagogue!

Founded in 1944, Beth David is an egalitarian Conservative synagogue with a continuing commitment to Jewish life.

Our kehilla (community) is known for its vibrancy and warmth, and we hope you will decide to become part of our congregational family after you've explored what we have to offer.

It's easy. Contact our Executive Director Susan Goldstein (or call 336-235-7735) who will answer your questions about Beth David and show you around our facility, introduce you to Rabbi Havivi and arrange committee chairs to reach out to you so you can get involved.

What if I can't afford to pay the stated dues amount?

No one is turned away for financial reasons. Our Dues Committee or Executive Director will work with you to structure a payment plan that works for you.

Are tickets for High Holy Days included in membership?

Yes! Regular and Affiliate members are given tickets for the High Holy Days. Families receive two adult tickets, and single members receive one adult ticket. (Tickets are not required for children who are accompanied by a parent and we have Junior Congregation for them as well.)

What if my family is interfaith?

We welcome interfaith families, and support your commitment to having a Jewish family life. Beth David supports that choice through education and celebration. We are committed to exploring ways to involve interfaith families. Rabbi Havivi serves on the Rabbinical Assembly's Keruv Committee as well as the Keruv subcommittee of the Leadership Council of Conservative Judaism.
