Who we are
You are welcome here.
We are a Reform congregation that reads Torah in the world we actually live in. We ask questions out loud and we would always rather you show up with doubts than not show up at all. Our doors are open to everyone, and interfaith couples are warmly embraced as full participants in every aspect of temple life.
Partners of other faiths are part of this community, not guests in it.
In leadership, on the bimah (the pulpit), and at every life cycle moment.
Our prayer books have translation and transliteration on every page.
Religious school
Sundays, kindergarten through twelfth grade
Hebrew, holidays, music, and friendships that outlast confirmation. Fall registration is open.

Community
Groups, social action, and signature events
Young families, empty nesters, seniors, and everyone between. Food pantry shifts, Sisterhood, Brotherhood, and a choir that could always use another voice.
