About Us

TSSC serves members of the Central Maine Jewish community of Lewiston/Auburn and outlying towns. Our synagogue was built in 1982 following the merger of Congregation Beth Jacob and the Lewiston Jewish Community Center. For many years, we were affiliated with the Conservative movement. However, since 2004 we have been an independent, egalitarian congregation, welcoming all Jews and all levels of Jewish observance. Our mission is to foster a strong Jewish identity and an active Jewish community. Current membership includes 95 families.

Summer 2021 – Temple Shalom is opening gradually this summer, but office hours remain limited.  Contact us by e-mail if you need to reach us and watch your e-mail for news of upcoming events.  Proof of vaccination will be required to attend any TSSC event for the foreseeable future, including outdoor events.
