diverse and vibrant reform Jewish community with a shared passion for prayer, learning and actions that help make the world a better place. We are a congregation informed and guided by the study of Torah, Jewish values and culture, a commitment to the State of Israel and our love for God. A synagogue that supports our members in times of stress and challenge, as well as celebrates with them the joys and simchas of their lives. A community dedicated to helping our members pursue a lifelong journey of Jewish growth. ___________________________________

CONFIRMATION CLASS OF 2018 Each year our Confirmation students spend their 10th grade year looking at what it means to be a Jewish adult, often looking at complex issues in ways that are very different than they “pediatric” way in which they have viewed them up to that point. As a part of our Shavuot Confirmation service, each student shared some of their thoughts on a topic from the year that they chose. Their speeches were so impressive and thought-provoking that we wanted to share them with members of our Shir Ami family who were unable to be with us Shavuot morning. We hope that they will not only inspire you to think about issues that you, perhaps, have not questioned in a while, but also give you immense pride in your congregation, its youth, and the future of the Jewish people.
