About Us

Welcome to Congregation Rodeph Sholom, the leader in Tampa’s Conservative Jewish community. Since its inception in 1903, Rodeph Sholom has grown from a congregation of 20 families with a modest building on Palm Avenue to a membership of over 550 households in our current home on Bayshore Boulevard. The Irving Cohen Youth Center, adjacent to our main building, offers a full-service educational facility for our Religious School, and the South Tampa branch of the Jewish Community Center PreSchool.

In addition to our spirited worship services, Rodeph Sholom provides a variety of spiritual, educational, communal, and social activities. The rabbi, cantor, education, youth & family programming director, and the director of development & program support, as well as numerous organizations and committees, strive to present programs that provide opportunities for members to explore and participate in all aspects of Jewish life.
