We are a Reconstructionist temple.Our services led by Rabbi Halina Rubinstein and Cantor Ruth Ossher are informal with a mixture of English and Hebrew with lots of music, discussion and food.
We have a pot luck the first Friday of every month, followed by a Friday night service. Other weekends, our weekly service is on Saturday morning. Check our calendar for our weekly service schedule.
We are so sure you will want to stay that we offer dues-free first year membership with FREE high-holiday seats.
We welcome all -- regardless of marital status, age, race, family composition, sexual orientation, and/or disabilities. No experience is required to join. We keep our dues as low as possible.
Children of interfaith couples are considered Jews by Reconstructionists if they have either a Jewish mother or father, as long as they are being raised as Jews. Non-Jewish partners of members are always welcome and are included in all activities of the synagogue.
Children, teens and adults learn in small groups with individually paced learning.
