NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!
There is a place for you in our congregation, whether your background is traditional or secular, whether you are a Jew by choice or come from a long line of rabbis. We are an inclusive community, welcoming families, single members, interfaith couples, and gays and lesbians.
You can get involved in our congregation through a variety of paths:
- If you would simply like to learn more about our community, please contact us with your name, phone number, and/or e-mail address, and we'll be happy to answer your questions.
- If you would like to meet our rabbi, contact her and she’ll be happy to meet with you.
- If you want to see what our services are like, please check our schedule. Saturday morning services (currently held every other week) start at 11 a.m. and last about one hour, preceded by Torah study at 10 a.m.
- If you would like to try out our community, you can join as a "Dorshim" (seeker) for one year. Just complete the membership and dues forms.
- If you are seeking a progressive Jewish education for your children, check out our Children's Education page.
