This Web Site is dedicated to shared ideas relating to Jewish life and our small, active congregation.  We come together to worship, to learn, to help others and become better people.  We are bound by a common history and a strong sense of community. We believe that a small gesture is far more important than the grandest of ideas. We share tears and food, awe and laughter.

We invite you to visit us on the different pages of this Web site.   Learn about the glue that fastens this small community into a solid, caring center for Jewish prayer, Jewish education and the good Jewish life.
