Temple Beth Sholom (transliterated from Hebrew as "House of Peace") is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4144 Chase Avenue, on Miami Beach, Florida, in the United States.
They put together a group of people for the first founders' meeting of Beth Sholom Center, which took place on April 6, 1942.
On August 9, 1944, at the 36th meeting of the board of directors, held in the home of its chairman, Charles Tobin, it was decided to employ Rabbi Leon Kronish to serve as the center's spiritual leader.
Kronish was installed in the North Beach Elementary School auditorium by Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise, President of New York's Jewish Institute of Religion.
The Temple is also surrounded by outdoor spaces including play areas, meditation garden and palm plaza.
The Confirmation Class has journeyed on a pilgrimage to Israel every year,[clarification needed] a program that Kronish initiated.
Reaching beyond Jewish borders, the congregation has also been deeply involved in the civil rights movement and in fighting world hunger.
