Temple Beth Ora, abbreviated as TBO, is a Reform synagogue located at 12313 105 Avenue NW in the Westmount neighbourhood of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1] Founded in 1979 as Beth Ora Synagogue, it is the city's only Reform synagogue.[2]

Since its establishment, the congregation has occupied several buildings. For many years, Temple Beth Ora conducted services in the JCC Building overlooking the North Saskatchewan River. In 2007, TBO moved from the Edmonton JCC to Chesed Shel Emeth, home of Edmonton's Chevra kadisha.

The congregation is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism.[3] Rabbi Gila Caine was installed in April 2018.[4]
