We are a group of very different people—Jew and non-Jew, men and women, straight and LGBTQ, people of different ethnicities, beliefs, political stripes, and backgrounds—who share one thing. We experience Judaism as a sort of magnetic force drawing us together, and within it we find, in one way or another, the power, inspiration, and knowledge to live our lives fully and with purpose.
As a Reconstructionist synagogue, we make Judaism relevant to our modern lives. Music, social justice, food, learning, and laughing all play a big part in our communal lives. Our educational director, lay leadership, and Rabbi Glazer, run an innovative Religious School that kids love going to and where they learn to love being Jewish.
