B’ruchim Haba’im!

Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim (KKBE) was founded over 275 years ago, in 1749, and has been at the spiritual heart of Jewish Charleston ever since. The birthplace of American Reform Judaism in 1841, our congregation is proudly committed to serving the religious needs of families and individuals through inclusive worship and ritual, education, and the quest toward social justice, peace, and acts of loving kindness. In our magnificent sanctuary and throughout our historic campus, we strive to encourage a lifelong love of Jewish learning, pride in our Jewish heritage, and commitment to a strong Jewish future.

We are more than a house of worship. We are a vibrant, caring congregational family, and we’ve saved a spot for you. Share with us the friendly, enriching atmosphere that is Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim.
