Temple Beth Hatfiloh is a 160 member-household congregation in Olympia, Washington dedicated to fulfilling the spiritual, educational, social and cultural needs of Jews in the South Puget Sound region. We serve as a Jewish resource for Thurston and surrounding counties.
At TBH, we understand that there are many ways to connect with Judaism and Jewish tradition. We are truly a beit am, a “house of the people,” and seek to provide many opportunities for people to engage with Jewish community in a way that is meaningful to them. Our membership is made up of people who grew up Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, secular or not Jewish.
We are an inclusive community, welcoming interfaith families, gays and lesbians, people of color, and Jews of all age groups, economic backgrounds and diverse spiritual backgrounds.
We offer a full calendar of Shabbat and holiday observances. Our religious services are spirited and engaging, providing inspiration and connection. Our programming for youth is extensive, offering a full religious school program, a teen group and more. For adults, educational and social opportunities abound. We also hold very high the value of tzedakah (“righteous giving”) and tikkun olam (“repair of the world”) and TBH is very involved in the greater Olympia community.
At TBH we value the individual's personal journey and seek to provide opportunities for personal connection and growth. At the same time, we recognize the value of Jewish peoplehood, and that belonging to a community and a tradition is of key importance to development and continuity. |
