Why is Am shalom unique? Because of the closeness of our community and our ability to allow participation for everyone.
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.

From Scottsville Road:
Follow Scottsville Road until it becomes Broadway,

Turn Right on State Street. The Presbyterian
Church is at the corner of 10th and State. Because

on Main Street (at the Square), turn Left on
College Street, then Left on 10th Street.
From
Western Kentucky University:

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

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.
