A community of more than 300 households, with people of diverse beliefs and backgrounds: sing, learn, pray and celebrate. Labels such as Reform, Conservative or Reconstructionist are not adequate to describe this creative organization. The community-created prayerbooks, used for egalitarian, participatory services, incorporate the best of all Jewish traditions.

Rabbi Chaim Koritzinsky leads weekly Torah study at 9 a.m. Saturdays. Outstanding youth education program for students 18 months to 18 years. Special interest groups include hiking, singing and book discussions. Like an extended family, members actively support each other and celebrate together.
