The Synagogue Council of Massachusetts (SCM) is a transdenominational organization that brings together Jewish congregations and minyanim across Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist movements in the greater Boston area. It serves as a central coordinating body by fostering connections among individuals and communities, promoting mutual understanding and respect for Jewish diversity, and supporting congregations across the spectrum of belief and practice. Based in Newton Center, Massachusetts, SCM functions with a small staff and operates within the religious institutions industry, focusing on collaboration and shared initiatives among member groups. A recent initiative noted in its activities is the launch of Maavar, a resource designed to assist synagogues undergoing transition, reflecting the council’s role in facilitating transitional support and collective resilience among its member communities.
