At Community Synagogue we keep in mind the three-fold definition of what a synagogue is supposed to be: A House of Prayer - Beit T'fillah; A House of Study - Beit Midrash, and A House of Assembly - Beit Knesset. We strive to help people find God and connections to each other through sacred Jewish acts. In each of these areas, we serve our community with creativity, innovation, and caring. We endeavor to make our Judaism relevant, compelling, inspiring and meaningful. Our services are enriched with music that blends the traditions of our past with modern and innovative expression.
