Temple Beth Sholom has always been a major element in the dramatic growth
of Las Vegas as a metropolis. Some semblance of a Jewish community existed
in Las Vegas as far back as the early days of the 20th Century, when Jewish
entertainers, hotel/casino entrepreneurs and even miners filtered in and
out of the city. Occasionally a minyan might be found in the back room
of a retail establishment if there was an occasion, ranging from the High
Holidays, to a baby-naming, to a Yahrzeit.
It wasn’t until 1946 that some of the city’s Jewish leaders banded together
to form a Conservative synagogue, Temple Beth Sholom, the first formal
Jewish congregation in Las Vegas. As the city grew, so did Temple Beth
Sholom, from a modest building in the Downtown area, at Carson Street and
Maryland Parkway, several years later to a large synagogue on East Oakey
Boulevard. The congregation remained at the Oakey location for 35 years,
while Las Vegas’ growth spread in many directions.
As the Jewish population of the city multiplied, other congregations
were formed. Meanwhile, a significant enough percentage of Temple Beth
Sholom’s
membership had moved into the Summerlin section of Las Vegas, located
in the western sector of the city.
As a result, in 1997 the congregation purchased seven acres of property
at Town Center Drive and Havenwood Lane. At a cost of more than $10 million
-- in addition to much more in the form of contributions of labor, materials
and services -- the new Temple Beth Sholom was formally dedicated on Sept.
24, 2000. It is a majestic, sprawling structure containing every conceivable
facility expected of a complete Conservative synagogue.
