 Welcome to Congregation Beth Emek:
 Beth Emek, the "House of the Valley," is the center of the Jewish community in the Tri-Valley, serving Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Tracy. At Beth Emek, Jews meet to study and learn, to celebrate the cycle of the year, and to rejoice in the Sabbath.

From Rabbi Richard Winer
I hope you will enjoy our community as much as I do. I was raised just up the road in Concord in a very similar community to our own here in the Tri-Valley. I have found a thriving, vibrant Jewish atmosphere here at Beth Emek.
Please join us as we celebrate Judaism and all our Tradition has to offer.
 Visit the Rabbi's Corner.
