Our Mission and Values

Our Mission:

We are a community of members and friends, proud of our honorable legacy and our ongoing growth as part of modern-day Conservative Judaism. We offer a sanctuary for prayer and study, a sense of belonging, and a source of inspiration. Our synagogue is a place to celebrate in moments of triumph, to find comfort in times of hardship, and to gain insight in the search for understanding. We comprise all commitment levels, accepting one another in our unique paths towards spiritual observance and growth. Let’s make our journey together.

Our Values:

• • Openness: we embrace and welcome our community of members and friends without judgment wherever they are on their personal journeys of spirituality and observance.
  • Engagement: we strive to provide comfortable, inspiring and engaging varieties of communal worship and programming from the innovative to the traditional.
  • Inclusion: we value and respect our members’ diversities, including age, gender, race, abilities and personal identity.
  • Compassion: we provide personal and compassionate pastoral care, whether in celebration, grief, gratitude or concern. We encourage our members to nurture their own compassion and undertake faith-based action in their homes, through their work, and for the world.
  • Learning: we are committed to the perpetuation of Jewish values through high quality Jewish education for students of all ages, from pre-school through confirmation, and robust and celebrated adult education programs.
  • The Jewish Homeland: we have an enduring bond with Israel and its people, affirm its profound value to world Jewry and Jewish identity, and encourage connections to it that reflect the mosaic of Jewish life.
