Beth Shalom was founded in 1974[2] as a Conservative congregation. However, in c. 2005 it withdrew from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, and as of 2024[update] continued unaffiliated. The synagogue building was completed in 1975.
Beverly Magidson served as rabbi from 1983 to 1991. Magidson was the first female rabbi appointed to lead a Conservative congregation in the United States. Magidson was also the synagogue's first full-time rabbi.[2] As of 2024[update], Rabbi Ami T. Monson was the Rabbi in Residence; and Rabbi Dr. Chanan Markowitz was Rabbi Emeritus.
