We are an egalitarian congregation. Men and women sit together, women are counted in the minyan, receive aliyot and any other honor, can lead services and read Torah.
Our services follow the traditional Ashkenazic nusach but here and there we use some English and a little Japanese, and often during services you’ll hear melodies from all over the Jewish world. Our siddurim are: Siddur Hadash, for all Sabbath and Festival Services and Siddur Sim Shalom for Weekdays.
Our chumashim are The Pentateuch and Haftorahs ed. By J. H. Hertz, and The Chumash – The Stone Edition, and we read the Torah according to the triennial cycle as established by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Sometimes there is a dvar Torah, sometimes a discussion to which everyone participates, sometimes a more formal sermon.
Questions regarding services or the Torah reading are always welcome by rabbi and congregation alike.
If one of our guests is capable of leading services, reading Torah or Haftarah, the rabbi is very happy to let them do it, because we want everyone to feel welcome when they are with us.
We invite you to join us for any of the following services:
Friday night services Shabbat morning services
