    Congregation Beth Or (transliterated from Hebrew as "House of Light") is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located in Maple Glen, a northern suburb of Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

    History[edit]

    Beth Or was established in 1955 in Mount Airy.[1][2] In 1974, the congregation moved to Spring House,[3] until relocating in 2006 to its current home in Maple Glen. The dedication of the new synagogue on May 15, 2006, was attended by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.[2]

    Rabbi Gregory Marx has led Beth Or since 1989.[1] In 2018, Associate Rabbi Jason Bonder joined the congregation.[4]
