Congregation Am Haskalah was welcomed into Bethlehem on Sunday, May 16 at a Housewarming ceremony attended by more than 150 people. The Congregation, affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation, is sharing space with Congregation Brith Sholom at 1190 West Macada Rd., and recently moved from Allentown in an effort to reduce costs and increase cooperation with the Lehigh Valley Jewish Community.

Bethlehem Councilwoman, The Hon. Karen Dolan, was on hand to officially welcome the Congregation into Bethlehem.
