Members pray and learn together, spend Shabbat together and celebrate holidays and simchas together. Families and individuals get to know one another in a warm, intimate and welcoming environment that supports lifelong Jewish learning and growth.

We hold Shabbat morning, Kabbalat Shabbat and High Holy day services. Come share our dream of a vibrant, dynamic and egalitarian Jewish community in the Heights neighborhood.

Learners’ Torah Discussion Group

Join us on the 2nd and 4th Shabbat of each month to study and discuss selections from the Torah portion. We consider commentaries, raise questions, and share tips for using the Chumash. Each week’s lesson is a self-contained unit so come as your schedule permits. The sessions are accessible for non-Hebrew-speakers or -readers.

We meet when the Torah service starts (about 10:30 AM) in the community room and rejoin the service in time for the d’var torah. Questions?
