Welcome
A warm, inclusive Reform synagogue in Richmond, California
Temple Beth Hillel is a welcoming Jewish community located just off Hilltop Drive at I-80 in Richmond, California. We’re proud to be a spiritual home for Jewish families from West Contra Costa County and beyond.
As a small congregation, we value deep connections, meaningful relationships, and a true sense of belonging—something often lost in larger synagogues.
Rooted in Tradition, Alive with Community
Founded in 1946, Temple Beth Hillel has deep roots in Richmond and continues to be a vibrant place to gather, learn, and celebrate. We come together for Shabbat, the High Holy Days, and Jewish festivals throughout the year, including:
Hanukkah Latke Party
Tu B’Shevat Seder
Purim Carnival
Congregational Passover Seder
…and more!
Learning for All Ages
Our Religious School welcomes students from pre-K through high school, including Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation. We provide a joyful, values-based Jewish education that nurtures identity, curiosity, and connection.
Join Us for Shabbat and Holidays
We invite you to celebrate with us—whether for a Shabbat service, a holiday gathering, or a special life cycle event. Shabbat evening services are held on the first and third Fridays of each month at 7:30 PM, in person and online.
New to the Area? Looking for a Jewish Home?
Whether you’re new to the Bay Area or a longtime resident seeking a Reform synagogue in the East Bay, Temple Beth Hillel is here to welcome you—with open arms, open hearts, and open doors.
