"Bais Abe" is a warm, welcoming and diverse Orthodox synagogue led by Rabbi Hyim Shafner located in the University City Loop area of St. Louis, close
to Washington University. The community combines observance, passionate
prayer and deep Torah study with creativity, openness and activism.
We offer many opportunities for exploration and enrichment, including Shabbat services, weekday morning minyan, family shabbatons, weekly study sessions, a lively Lunch and Learn series, student hospitality programs and a junior congregation, and we are home to the St. Louis Women's Tefillah Group. Individuals and families of all backgrounds and levels of observance are welcome. read more about us
