Beit Harambam Congregation

Beit Harambam Congregation is an Orthodox synagogue in Northeast Philadelphia located in a modern facility at 9981 Verree Road. The building includes a sanctuary for worship services and a social hall for community gatherings.

The congregation was founded in 1978 and grew from basement gatherings into an established institution. A devastating fire destroyed the original building in 2000, but with support from the Jewish community it was rebuilt by 2002.

The congregation conducts services in Hebrew following Edot HaMizrach traditions and serves as a gathering place for Israeli expatriates and Mizrahi Jewish communities in Philadelphia. Visitors experience a blend of Middle Eastern Jewish customs and local community practices here.

The facility offers daily study sessions for men, weekly groups for women, and children's activities on different days. Visitors should inquire ahead since schedules can vary based on religious holidays and observances.

Rabbi Amiram Gabay has led the congregation since its founding in 1978 and witnessed its evolution from informal gatherings to a fully equipped facility. His continued leadership over decades shapes the spiritual and social identity of the community.
