PRAY

We celebrate the full cycle of the Jewish year with High Holy Day services, outdoor meals at Sukkot, Chanukah latke dinners, noisy get-togethers on Purim, Passover and Tu B'Shevat community seders, and more! We also celebrate the cycles of our members’ lives – bris and baby-namings, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings and commitment ceremonies, conversions and confirmations. And of course, we come together and provide support as a community in times of illness or death of members or their families.

We welcome guests and visitors to our services. To protect your safety and security, we require all non-members to pre-register before attending any service: complete this form. Shabbat services are also accessible on livestream; join our mailing list for the link.
