Our Story

Temple Beit HaYam was founded September 1993 by a group of dedicated Jewish families who wanted their children to have a Jewish education and a place to worship as a congregation. Early worship was held in temporary space in Sewell’s Point and Stuart. High Holiday services were held in the Lyric Theatre. Our Temple building was dedicated in January 2000.

We are large enough to offer a variety of educational and community programs, yet small enough to maintain a feeling of intimacy. All religious services, social programs and school classes take place in our beautiful Temple located in the Monterey Commons Professional Park.  We offer Hebrew and religious training for youngsters from kindergarten through high school. Currently, there are more than 90 students enrolled in our religious school programs. Our active Sisterhood and Brotherhood plan activities and events designed to encourage social interaction and support of our Temple. Concerts, lectures and other events are offered to the Treasure Coast community at large. In addition, our Caring Community and Social Action Committee embody our commitment to tzedakah (justice and giving). Our active Junior and Senior Youth Groups provide important social and informal learning experiences for our teens.

We invite you to visit our congregation and meet our Rabbi Matthew Durbin, Cantor and Religious Education Director Mike Jarvis.
