Committees
Getting Involved
We all come together in this house...our house. Our Congregational family has many interests, and we offer a wide variety of activities. There’s something for everyone, so don’t miss the chance to get involved. You can join a social group, continue your Jewish education, work to repair the world, or use your professional skills to help our congregation run smoothly.
