Temple Beth Tzedek

Temple Beth Tzedek (מקדש בית צדק) 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.

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

The new building for the synagogue was completed in 2020 by Finegold Alexander Architects. The building had a more naturalistic look with glass emitting sun light every day in the main congregation room with the heavy use of timber and other wood materials to make it more nature-like.

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.

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

Throughout 2024 and the last two decades, with other religious communities losing members in western New York, Temple Beth Tzedek has gained many members.
