Weather Cancellation of Shabbat Service, Friday, January 13 Because of inclement weather, tonight's Shabbat service will be canceled.

Why is Am shalom unique? Because of the closeness of our community and our ability to allow participation for everyone. As a lay-led congregation, we all work together to foster Judaism in South-Central Kentucky.

Am Shalom is the Jewish Congregation of Bowling Green, Kentucky. We follow the practices of Reform Judaism, and are a member of the Union for Reform Judaism (formerly the Union of American Hebrew Congregations). Am Shalom serves the population of a wide area of South-Central Kentucky and the northern portion of the Nashville Metropolitan Area, including Robertson and Sumner Counties in Tennessee.  We are located 55 miles north of downtown Nashville.  Am Shalom is a member of the Nashville Jewish Federation. 

Bowling Green, the 3rd-largest city in Kentucky, is the most rapidly-growing city in the state. The Bowling Green Metro Area, with a population of 120,000, is the home of Western Kentucky University (one of the top comprehensive universities in the Southeastern United States), Mammoth Cave National Park, the National Corvette Museum, and the Kentucky Library & Museum.

Directions

From Scottsville Road:
Follow Scottsville Road until it becomes Broadway, and eventually dead-ends into State Street. Turn Right on State Street. The Presbyterian Church is at the corner of 10th and State. Because 10th Street is one-way from College to State, you will need to go around the block to get to the parking lot across the street from the building. Continue down State Street, go Left on Main Street (at the Square), turn Left on College Street, then Left on 10th Street.

From Western Kentucky University:
Normal Avenue becomes State Street. Take State Street downtown to the Square. Because of one-way streets, turn Left on Main Street (at the Square), Left on College Street, and Left on 10th Street.

From I-65 North or South:
Take the Cemetery Road, State Route 234 exit (Exit 26). Cemetery Road becomes Fairview Avenue, then the name becomes 6th Street. Turn Left on College Street and Left on 10th Street.

From the West/Natcher Pkwy/Russellville Rd (Hwy 68/80):
Take Highway 68/80 (Russellville Road) to University Blvd. Turn Left on University Blvd. The road will curve to the Right and become one-way. You will see the Kentucky Museum & Library on the Right. In front of the museum, the road will spit in two. Take the fork to the Left, which becomes Kentucky Street. Turn Right on 13th Street, then Left on Center Street. Turn Right on 10th Street.

Parking Information

Please enter the building from the 10th Street entrance. You may park on State or 10th Street, or across the street in the “Reserved Parking” lot (which is entered from 10th Street). Please note that 10th Street is one way, with traffic coming from College Street to State Street.
