Our Congregation, originally known as the New Jewish Congregation, was founded in 2001, groundbreaking for our current Temple building was in August 2005, and the first regular Shabbat Services were held December 2006.
Our Temple is the focal point of a large, growing and vibrant multi generational Jewish community with over 600 members as of September 2011. Children are welcome and training for Bar and Bas Mitzvah’s is provided. Our members are a friendly and caring group of people who welcome children and adults of all ages who care to worship with us.
We are a Reform congregation using the Gates of Prayer prayer book. Our Ark houses our eighty-five year old European Torah and two additional Torah’s donated by members.
In addition to Friday night services at 7:30PM every week and Saturday morning services at 9:30AM the last Saturday of each month, the Temple holds services for Jewish holidays including, among others, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succot.; Torah study follows Saturday morning services.
During Passover and other holidays, the Temple hosts traditional meals for the congregation, their guests and others from the community who wish to attend. Holiday meals are held at the Temple or at local restaurants.
Torah study, continuing Jewish education and Bar, Bat and B’nai Mitzvah classes are also conducted.
Our Temple family is very active and includes a vibrant Sisterhood and Brotherhood. Events include many charitable events, interfaith meetings, Shabbat Dinners, weekly Bingo for 120 -140 participants, Mah Jongg tournaments, a wide variety of musical events, fashion shows and lecturers on a wide variety of topics of historical, scientific, economic or timely interest.
