Sholom vs. Shalom

So, what’s the difference? Sholom is the less common English spelling of the Hebrew word שָׁלוֹם meaning peace and harmony. And much like our more unique spelling of Sholom, Temple Sholom is a special place that welcomes all who are seeking a meaningful connection to Judaism in a warm, close-knit Reform congregation with a down-to-earth vibe.

Building on our more than 100 year history, at Temple Sholom we pride ourselves on innovating for the future and offering a warm Sholom (or Shalom!) to all. 

Either way, there’s no place like Sholom!
