Vision

A vibrant and enduring focus for Progressive Jewish life and thought in Brisbane.

Purpose

Beit Or v'Shalom exists to provide a welcoming, friendly environment where Jews can worship, learn and grow, and where everyone can contribute to the Jewish and broader community of Brisbane.

We accomplish this by providing, in a Progressive Jewish framework, for the religious, cultural, educational and social needs of Jews in Brisbane through services, learning programs and social activities that celebrate the principles of Torah, Talmud and Progressive Judaism.

Values

• Respect – everyone is welcome and all views are listened to.
• Learning – we treasure learning as the core of Jewish life and our hopes for the future.
• Inclusiveness – there is a place here within a Progressive Jewish framework for all Jews, and all those who are studying to become Jews.
• Openness – our decision-making processes are clear, transparent and fair.
• Family – we value every member as part of our Progressive Jewish family, whatever their own family circumstances.
