Administrative history
Temple Beth Ora was founded in 1979 as a reform synagogue, and in 1980 it was incorporated and Beit Sefer classes began. The congregation initially met at the home of Alexis and Shawn Gold and then moved into the Jewish Community Centre as the congregation grew. Services are held in the Colonial Lounge and the gymnasium at the JCC. The congregation was initially led by student Rabbis until 1988, when the first ordained resident Rabbi, Joseph L. Melamed, was hired. In 2003, the congregation was led by Rabbi Lindsey Bat Joseph and had 85 family member units. Rabbi Bat Joseph left in 2007. In August of 2008, the congregation moved to the Chesed Shel Emes Building at 123rd St. and 104 Ave. to share space with the Chevra Kadisha.
