This Jewish Reform congregation is the smallest of its kind in Milwaukee. It was originally founded in 1955 by a small group of Jewish families and the first rabbi at this location was Rabbi Jay R. Brickman, who came from Staten Island, NY.
The most recent renovation was concluded in 2006, expanding the synagogue to its current size. Rabbi David Cohen and Cantor Rebecca Robins are currently the congregation's religious leaders.
Beth Messiah - Milwaukee meets within the Grace Christian Fellowship building on Capitol Drive. Beth Messiah - Milwaukee is a congregation where Gentiles and Jews are able to worship together in an ancient way. Services are held Sundays and both children's Shabbat and nursery services are provided.
Congregation Shalom began with just 14 families, but today services more than 1,000 members. This temple focuses on modern Judaism and offers many different classes, groups and activities.
Congregation Shalom also graciously accepts food donations for the Hunger Task Force and the Jewish Food Pantry.
