Welcome to KKBE!

Rooted deeply. Growing wisely. Cultivating community.

Founded in 1749, KKBE is one of the oldest congregations in America, and is known as the birthplace of American Reform Judaism. Our sanctuary is the oldest in continuous use for Jewish worship in America, but Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim (KKBE) is more than just a house of worship. We are a vibrant, inclusive and caring congregational family.

Upcoming Events

Join with the KKBE Brotherhood and spend the evening with Charleston Mayor William Cogswell on Wednesday, September 18 at 6:00PM. Mayor Cogswell will give opening remarks followed by a Q&A. Snacks will be provided. The cost is FREE for Brotherhood members and $5 for non-members. All KKBE members are invited to join. Email Louis Kaufman at kseaducks@aol.com with questions.
