Temple Beth Shalom

Welcome to Temple Beth Shalom, a Reform temple in Peabody, Massachusetts. We were founded almost 50 years ago and have provided the local Jewish community with a broad range of services throughout that time.

Temple Beth Shalom has a rich tradition of education including Hebrew school, pre-school and adult education, not to mention an on-going series of guest lectures from local and visiting scholars.

If you are looking for a place of Jewish community, education, social interaction and worship then we hope you will consider Temple Beth Shalom.

"'In Your eyes, every moment is the right time for prayer. You receive my prayers with great love, and You respond with true assistance.'

-Psalm 69
