Beth Ami Temple is a Jewish congregation in Paradise Valley, Arizona, founded in 1978. Known for its small, close-knit community, the temple emphasizes warmth, participation, and shared ownership in congregational life. What began as gatherings in members' homes grew into a longstanding congregational presence shaped by active family involvement and enduring community ties. Beth Ami fosters connection to Jewish roots in an intimate setting where members know one another and take meaningful part in temple life. The congregation also engages with the broader local community through events and its Beth Ami Speakers Series, which brings members of the Phoenix community to speak at several services each year.
