Congregation Shalom

About Us CONGREGATION SHALOM is a Reform Jewish Congregation, representing a liberal interpretation of Judaism, building upon the bedrock of stability established by our founders in 1951. We are dedicated to the study and teaching of the ethical and spiritual ideals of Judaism and to integrating these ideals into the present day world. We are dedicated to building a community which affirms God’s existence and to working for the benefit and continuity of the Jewish people and human kind. We recognize this country’s diversity and will endeavor to be as inclusive as possible so that each member of our community feels comfortable and is provided with an opportunity to embrace the rituals and beliefs of Reform Judaism. We seek to provide a welcoming environment in which individuals and families are encouraged to engage in the study of Torah, prayer, acts of loving kindness and righteous deeds. Together we worship God, celebrate Shabbat, sanctify Jewish holidays and observe life-cycle events, in a manner that reflects the flavor and emotion of Jewish tradition and allows the freedom to be creative. CONGREGATION SHALOM shall always be a sanctuary of warmth, comfort and spirituality.
