Temple Beth Tzedek (Hebrew: מקדש בית צדק, romanized: mqḏš ḇyṯ ṣḏq) is a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Getzville, New York.

History

The synagogue now known as Temple Beth Tzedek was a merger of two synagogues named Temple Beth El and Temple Shaarey Zedek in 2008.[1]

In 2018 Rabbi Samuel Barth was selected as the new Rabbi of Temple Beth Tzedek, succeeding Rabbi Perry Netter.[2]

The new building for the synagogue was completed in 2020 by Finegold Alexander Architects.[3]

In February, 2024, Temple Beth Tzedek was one of the first places of worship in the world to receive universal design certification for their improvement of accessibility for the disabled. The project was led by Harvey Sanders, the chairman of the synagogue's Project Beit Tfilah Committee and Ed Steinfeld.[4]

After the 2023 Invasion of Israel, the synagogue openly showed support for Israel against Hamas.[5]
