In 1972 Congregation B'nai Tikvah was established in Washington Township. The synagogue currently provides religious services to over 130 families in Gloucester and Camden Counties.
B'nai Tikvah in Southern New Jersey is a vibrant, welcoming, egalitarian Jewish community. The synagogue conducts
Shabbat Services 52 weeks a year and holiday services for all festivals.
The synagogue also provides a religious school program from kindergarden
through confirmation and adult education classes. There are holiday
parties and socials for children and adults. In addition, we have an
active men's club and sisterhood. An annual dinner dance is held culminating
the accomplishments for the year.
The congregation is governed by a board of trustees elected by the
general membership. Monthly board meetings are held and the members
are always welcome. General membership meetings are held periodically
and all congregants are encouraged to participate on committees. Members
are kept abreast of synagogue activities through our newsletter, appropriately
named the Shofar, and through personal contact by phone, e-mail or letter.
B'nai Tikvah is active in the community and participates in interfaith
services and dialogue to promote harmonious relationships among people
of all faiths and nationalities.
