Community Connection

No one should feel alone in a synagogue. When you walk through our doors, you join a family. We share in each other’s simchas, support each other in tough times, and come together for Tikkun Olam – repairing the world through acts of kindness and social action.

Yes, we’ll gladly celebrate your joys, mourn your losses, and stand with you in moments big and small.
