Shabbat Gatherings

Shabbat is the heart of our communal life. Gatherings are typically held in homes or small settings and are warm, unhurried, and grounded in traditional liturgy and familiar melodies.

We welcome Shabbat together through prayer, singing, learning, and, when possible, shared meals. Families, individuals, and visitors are part of the same table, and participation is encouraged at a pace that feels natural.

Torah Learning

Learning is central to our life together. Study is grounded in classical Jewish sources and shaped by thoughtful discussion, questions, and shared exploration.

Learning may take place in person or online and includes both ongoing study and occasional topic-based sessions. The pace is gentle, and people join with a wide range of backgrounds and experience.

Holidays and the Jewish Calendar

We mark the Jewish calendar together in a simple and grounded way. Holiday gatherings are shaped by tradition, season, and the needs of the community, with an emphasis on presence rather than performance.

This may include festival meals, prayer gatherings, study, or time spent together around the table. Observance grows organically, guided by tradition and shared responsibility.

Care and Chesed

Care within the community is offered quietly and with respect. This includes prayer during illness or crisis, support through life transitions, and practical help when needed.

Acts of chesed are coordinated by volunteers and carried out with discretion and humility. Care is personal, relational, and responsive rather than programmatic.

Youth & Family

Families and children are a natural part of community life. Learning and gatherings are designed to be welcoming across generations, with attention to age, stage, and individual comfort.

Support for milestones such as Bar and Bat Mitzvah is offered without pressure, with an emphasis on learning, identity, and belonging.

A Shared Way of Gathering

Each gathering has its own character, but the way we come together remains consistent.

There is no expectation to arrive with prior knowledge or experience.

Some gatherings are open community events, while others take place in homes or small settings. Details are often shared directly, reflecting the relational nature of the community.

Upcoming gatherings and seasonal observances are reflected on the calendar.
