We welcome interfaith families, and our religious school welcomes interfaith families raising Jewish children.

Yet, we all feel connected.

We Stand With Israel!
As always, our Jewish community stands proudly together with Israel at the frontline of Jewish security as they stand up to terror. We pledge to help those in harm’s way as we pray for a swift end to these hostilities and trauma so our family in Israel can return to their daily lives in peace.
Israel will prevail, and the Jewish people will stand together as we always do. Am Yisrael chai.

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
Blessing of the Animals October 27th at Noon. Bring your pets to be blessed by Rabbi Wainhaus. The event is timed to take place on the weekend when the Torah reading recounts the creation of the world and will be heard in synagogues everywhere. Once again, we’ll hear the majestic words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds.” What better time to celebrate the gift of the animals in our lives than this weekend. Please come with your leashed or caged pets, be they cats, dogs, birds, fish or turtles! Children are especially encouraged to attend with their parents.
