Reconstructing Judaism
We are a Jewish Reconstructionist community, tasked with making Judaism relevant to our times while respecting the traditions of our ancestors. As Reconstructionists like to say, "The past gets a vote, not a veto."
Reconstructionism falls on the more liberal side of the spectrum of Jewish practice- with contributions such as:
- The first bat mitzvah
- Understanding that Jews who married non-Jews do not intend to exit the Jewish community
- Embracing LGBTQ Jews as community members and leaders
We seek to bring meaning to ritual, Torah, and commandments as we look at Judaism through a progressive and contemporary lens.
We act with loving-kindness toward one another and all who enter, to create a sense of belonging for every person.
We are a learning community for young and old, committed to reflection, questioning, and listening.
We engage with one another intellectually, spiritually, musically, and joyfully.
We invite anyone to become a member of our community, we do not require conversion.
