We Are Welcoming

Bet Tikvah welcomes all who wish to participate in our services and activities. We are a House of Hope for all.

We Are Queer-Centric

Many readings in our prayer book are inclusive of LGBT individuals, but often resonate with all who attend.

We Are Independent

In order to make all worshippers feel welcome, Bet Tikvah is not affiliated with any of the major branches of Judaism.

St. Louis Rabbis As LGBTQ Allies

Posted on Facebook in the fall of 2020 by Rabbi Bogard: "LGBTQ friends (and friends of friends ... and friends that I haven’t yet met) – if you’re scared about your civil rights, are in Missouri [emphasis added], and want to get married ASAP, I’m here, Karen Kriger Bogard is here. Give us 15 minutes notice if you want us looking fancy (or 5 minutes if you don’t mind shlumpy), and we’re in. Our front porch or yours. Rain, cold, or shine."
