I have watched the Synagogue grow into a…read morevibrant community, with a preschool and classes for Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, high school students, and adult education. The Synagogue is a welcoming place for converts. The Synagogue is truly egalitarian. . I like that the services are not noisy. The Congregation is involved with the services. There are classes for children and even babysitting. At the end of services, the Rabbi also says, "Introduce yourself to two people you don't know." These words have made the Synagogue warm and welcoming. The Synagogue is very involved in community activities, such as the Homeless Shelter and newly arrived Syrians, who have escaped from war. The Rabbi does not use the pulpit to spout his political views; he never tells people how to vote. I think he views himself as the Rabbi to the congregation, regardless of politics. At voting time, he sends a prayer for those who choose to use it, a meditation of pondering. I read the reviews referring to Rabbi Naomi Kalisch; she is the Rabbi's wife, not the Rabbi of the Synagogue. These are modern times. A couple is two individuals and should be viewed as such.

The Cantor has a lovely voice and does great music programming with the choir and other members of the community. The environment is very welcoming, and they make a huge effort to make new members feel welcome and happy. Although the leadership has changed, and things are updated, it will always be my religious "home" so to speak, I mean, besides Jew Camp and all. Seriously, if you are looking for a congregation to belong to, this is one great place.

As we…read morestudy and proclaim the scriptures, we also look for ways to practice our faith and to seek the justice God proclaims today. We are multicultural and LGBTQ affirming. We love good music and on any given Sunday you may hear classical music, global hymns, gospel or jazz. Children play an active role in the church and we seek to welcome them through children's bulletins and bibles, a children's sermon, and sometimes having the kids lead music or read scripture lessons. Worship is at 10:30. We serve Communion once a month and offer anointing for healing and wholeness by the Deacons once each season. Baptism is available to all ages, with the expectation that you remain part of the community to grow in faith. Sunday School for children and adults is at 9:30 am. We have 3 age- appropriate classes for pre-k through middle schoolers, and an adult bible study as well. We have occasional youth group activities such as the confirmation lock-in and preparing a meal to serve at the Family Promise shelter. The church offers 8 weekly English Conversation Classes for the community, taught by volunteers. We support the Oelhaff House shelter for survivors of domestic violence, Center for Food Action, and CoFiA and First Friends, which are both groups that work for immigration justice. Jazz Jam meets the 2nd Friday each month, at 8 pm, where musicians of all ages and skills come to share their music and build community. You are welcome to check us out!

Open your eyes !! Jesus Christ is the one and only way to the Father…read more He willingly laid down his life on the cross, bearing the sins of the world. He was buried, and on the third day He rose again in power, defeating sin, death, and hell forever. The empty tomb is the greatest proof that Jesus is alive and reigns forever. There is no other name by which we can be saved. No religion, no good works, no tradition, and no human effort can reconcile us to God, Salvation is found in Christ alone. Jesus himself declared: " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except though me." (John 14:6) The cross was not the end--it was the beginning of our hope. Because Jesus lives, everyone who repents, believes in Him, and follows Him has the promise of eternal life. Do not place your trust in the things of this world. Put your faith in the risen Savior. The invitation is still open today. Come to Jesus while there is time, for he alone is the Lamb of God, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. He died. He was buried. He rose on the third day. He is alive forevermore. To Him be all the glory forever. Amen. Revival is today. Hallelujahhhhh Praise GOD. :) Jenifer Nunez. I Love You Jesus!
