Reconstructionist Judaism is the newest of the four major streams of Judaism. It has come into prominence in the United States over the past 75 years. Its founder, Mordecai Kaplan, did not believe in the traditional notion of God as an all-knowing figure. Rather, Kaplan believed that God works through nature and through human beings - not upon them.

Reconstructionist Jews generally think it is more important to believe that justice, kindness, and compassion are godly attributes, rather than to think of God as a power that possesses the attributes of justice, kindness, and compassion. This is another way of expressing the importance of human responsibility in bringing godliness into the world.

Our diverse community welcomes all types of families and anyone wanting to explore Jewish identity and rituals. We are dedicated to creating a caring and inclusive community, and to enhancing Jewish practice and learning in the lives of our members.

We are committed to preserving and passing on our Jewish culture, providing an exciting and meaningful education experience for all ages. We value and encourage education and life-long learning as being fundamental to Jewish life.

Our religious school provides Hebrew language training, religious instruction, and holiday celebration, providing complete and engaging Jewish education. We do this so that our children may grow up having been exposed to the full richness of their Jewish religion and culture, and are able to pass their knowledge on to future generations.

Our congregation is founded on Reconstructionist based decision-making, and has grown due to the creative and spiritual contributions of our members. We encourage everyone to take an active role in some aspect of our congregational life, acknowledging that every member's voice is equal and important.
