Beit Or v’Shalom


Shalom and Welcome to Beit Or v’Shalom Incorporated previously known as Beit Knesset Shalom Synagogue Brisbane (BKS) and Brisbane Progressive Jewish Congregation

Founded in 1973 as Temple Shalom, and now known as  Beit Or v’Shalom Inc is located in the state capital of Queensland, Brisbane. We are a progressive synagogue, with total equality for men and women, believing that Jewish law does not remain static and that it does not always carry the same value for Jews in different ages. Beit Or v’Shalom is involved in the broader Brisbane Jewish community with members active in many communal organisations. We welcome new members and visitors, with services held every  Saturday. We celebrate all major Jewish festivals and encourage families and visitors to attend.

The Congregation is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of honorary office bearers, comprising a President, a Vice-President, a Treasurer and a Secretary and the Immediate Past President and a number of ordinary members including a representative of the Guild of the Congregation. The members of this Board of Directors are elected at the Annual General Meeting.
