About Our Congregation

Am Ha Yam in Hebrew means “People of the Sea.”

As the only Conservative community between Thousand Oaks and San Luis Obispo, we are voyagers on a spiritual sea joined together by our Jewish heritage and traditions and enriched by the diversity of our Jewish experiences. From wherever we have come, we share the blessings of community and the healing touch of friends and faith.  We are more than just another synagogue. We are family. Let us make this journey together.
