    Our New Physical Location at House of Prayer Lutheran Church

    Beginning August 1, we will offer multi-access services. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with House of Prayer Lutheran Church at the convenient location of Wurzbach and Ironside Drive. The Fellowship Hall gives us a flexible space to spread out (“socially distant”) as necessary and seat our congregation and guests for all services.
  • Kesher Classroom

    Kesher Classroom

    The large classroom space at House of Prayer Lutheran Church allows us to have multiple small groups meeting for Hebrew instruction, and then gives us flexibility to set up several different whole-group activities for KESHER SHALOM, our innovative and highly interactive youth education program.
  • Holiday Services

    Holiday Services

    Our joyful, creative holiday celebrations are appropriate for all ages. Young or old; single or family; Jewish, Interfaith, or exploring Judaism for the first time; whatever your story is, our congregation is inclusive in every possible way and you are always welcome.
  • Shabbat Worship

    Shabbat Worship

    Using our Reform Movement’s newest prayerbook, Mishkan T’filah, our Shabbat service is different every week. Balancing Hebrew and English readings; ‘traditional,’ Classical Reform, and contemporary melodies; sermons, divrei Torah, discussions, and Torah study; Rabbi Lisa Goldstein strives to keep our Shabbat worship engaging, accessible, and meaningful for the range of ages and interests of our attendees.

The Jewish people love to share stories, as memory is a central Jewish value. We cannot forget what has happened to us because we must share it with future generations. The past is one of our best learning tools.
