Congregation Community

You may have noticed that at the top of the form we begin with family information. This is intentional. When you come in the building and spend time learning and volunteering with us, you make a powerful statement to your child(ren) that Jewish life is a process and that we are all on the same team in creating these experiences for them. Don’t underestimate the subtle power of this statement!

We have opportunities during the course of the year on which families can engage in various ways based on Interest Groups.

Please selected as many of these Interest Groups your family would like to participate in:

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities (check all that apply)
