Congregation Shalom...
Many Faces, One Family

Welcome to Congregation Shalom

Who We Are

Congregation Shalom is a Reform congregation located in Milwaukee's North Shore. It is dedicated to:

The spiritual fulfillment of individuals,
The growth and development of families,
The welfare of Israel and the world community,
We take pride in being a caring community, an institution in which the beauty of tradition blends with the creative expression of modern Judaism.

Established in May of 1951 by 14 families, Congregation Shalom's membership grew to 435 families in just three years. Further growth required additions to the physical facilities over the next four decades, culminating in a major renovation and expansion in 1992. This expansion has allowed us to better serve the religious and educational needs of our congregants, currently more than 1000 member families.

Our history covers over 50 years, 2 senior Rabbis, much growth and change.
