The opening as it read in 2020
Beit Ha'Chidush (meaning House of Renewal in Hebrew ) (BHC) is a Jewish congregation founded in 1995 in Amsterdam , Netherlands .1It was founded by Jews, many of which were expats, with secular and religious backgrounds who wanted to create a welcoming, inspiring and renewed Jewish congregation.2BHC is an independent modern and progressive community where anyone with a Jewish background, either paternal or maternal, is welcome. People with a non-Jewish partner are more than welcome to attend the services together with their partner. BHC is a community based on equality and inclusiveness and welcomes individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. There are typically three Shabbat services each month: two on Friday evenings and one on Saturday morning, as well as services on Holidays . Since 1997 BHC uses the Uilenburger Synagogue (1766) for services. Once a month a tish is organized for members, this is a shabbat dinner with the rabbi at the home of one of the members. Beit Ha'Chidush organises since 2004 a yearly Pride Shabbat, a festive service on the first Friday night of August (unless August 1 falls on a Saturday, in that case its on the last Friday of July). BHC organizes Jewish education for children (Ledor Wador), as well as shiurim (lessons) on Jewish topics for adults. BHC is a democratic organization with elected board members and general assemblies. All important decisions are submitted to the members at the general assemblies which occur at least twice a year. BHC is also participatory: Members are encouraged to actively take part in all activities and also develop their own initiatives. As of June 2015, the Rabbi is Tamarah Benima .3
