Mission Statement:
We have joined together to create a religious community. We take seriously the spiritual dimensions of our tradition. We are committed to a synagogue that offers weekly services, Hebrew instruction, family study, holiday celebrations and life cycle events. This is being accomplished by continuous discussion and the creativity and committment of the participants.
