Our Physical Location at House of Prayer Lutheran Church

Each Shabbat, we offer multi-access services. We are proud of 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 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.

This year's Seder, hosted by Daniel and Lisa Price (the son and daughter-in-law of Jo-Ann Nevas Price and Michael Price), marked the next chapter in the family's tradition. With nearly 60 guests, the evening was filled with music, storytelling, and reflection.

As we gather around the Seder table this year, let's defy the divisions of our polarized world and model a different way of being together.

Welcoming Baby

Lifecycle Rituals

A brand-new baby is an astonishing being! How a tiny human could emerge from a mere bundle of cells, and the simple fact that any human being exists earthside, is truly remarkable.

Making the Target

Making the Target sdolgov

The road of life rarely unfolds according to plan. There are undoubtedly going to be potholes, detours, and bad weather to contend with. But these challenges cultivate growth by compelling us to reroute in ways that reveal previously undiscovered capacities for self-reliance, resourcefulness, and reimagination.
