Beit Am New Building
For the past 30 years, local faith communities have generously shared their facilities for Beit Am High Holiday Services and other life events. It is now time for Beit Am to have a home where our worship, study and fellowship can take place under one roof. Plans are in place to break ground in 2017 for construction on five wooded acres on Harrison Blvd already owned by Beit Am. Our commitment is to build a new home that is an expression of our community, and reflects our commitment to a more sustainable world.
With the larger capacity of our new building, Beit Am looks forward to hosting a range of events and activities for our members and others in the Willamette Valley, such as adult education classes and events, Jewish arts and culture events, and community activities aimed at community development and social justice.

Photos of Ground Breaking
Beit Am held a ground breaking ceremony on Oct. 8, 2017. It was a beautiful fall day! Many thanks to everyone who came out and to all our supporters who made this possible! Our neighbors at the LDS church allowed us to take over their parking lot, and they brought tables and refreshments and a sound system, and are wonderful neighbors! Corvallis Mayor Biff Trabor spoke to the import of this to our community. More people supported Beit Am than can be listed here. Here are just a few photos (Many thanks to Ariella and Eitan Wolf for the photos!).
