Шаблон:Infobox religious building Beth Shalom is a Progressive Jewish congregation in Auckland and the largest progressive congregation in the country.[1][2] The congregation was started in 1952 and later a temple was constructed and consecrated in 1960.[2][3] It is a member of the Union for Progressive Judaism.[4] The congregation has over 500 members, hosts a Hebrew school, and also has a burial society.[2]

History

The congregation was formed on 6 March, 1952 at the home of the Pezaro family, a founding family of the synagogue.[2] The congregation was at this point known as the Liberal Jewish Congregation of Auckland.[2] The congregation held its first Shabbat service on 14 April and thereon regular services took place at the Auckland City branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society.[2] A decision was made to establish a more permanent home for the congregation. A plot of land consisting an old foundry was subsequently purchased on Manukau Road in Epsom in 1953.[2] The foundry was renovated and converted into use as small temple serving one hundred congregants.[2] Rabbi John Levi, then a student rabbi from Australia, served as the congregation's first rabbi.[2]

As the congregation outgrew the old foundry, the congregation commissioned a new temple building by local architect, Albert Goldwater.[2] Building work was completed in 1960 and the temple was consecrated in the same year.[2] A second building project was undertaken in 1989 to expand the synagogue. The old foundry building that had been serving as a Hebrew School and social hall was demolished and rebuilt with a new, improved design. The original sanctuary of the 1960 temple was converted into a social hall, with a new sanctuary, offices and classrooms built.[2]

In recent years, Beth Shalom has been in discussions to relocate to the large former campus of Saint Kentigern Girls' School in Remuera.[5][6] Auckland Hebrew Congregation (AHC), with the assistance of the Woolf Fisher Trust, purchased the site in 2019.[7] Schools and Jewish organisations are also relocating to the site, creating a new Jewish centre in Auckland.[8]
