A synagogue for all. A synagogue for you?
Join us in Opening the Doors of Jewish Life Together.

Here's your invitation to Shabbat services, B'nai Mitzvah, blessings and celebrations, to High Holy Days, Festivals and Torah Study; to our Religious School, Pre-School, Family Education, Family and Adult Learning Programs; to our Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Senior Adults; to our Young People's Congregation and Young Adult Chavurah, the Chevrei Tikva Chavurah, college students, and youth groups; to the life of our joyous Temple family.

Our doors to Jewish life are open to all: to those who want to pause and meditate, to those who want to worship and study, to those seeking comfort, to those celebrating the cycles of life, to those who want to learn more about their Jewish identity, to those who want to become part of our community.

Our purpose is to join voices, hearts and hands together, as one family in spirit and in friendship, in prayer and in celebration, in the practice of our Jewish tradition, in acts of social conscience and loving kindness, in service to God.

Over a century and a half ago, our founders chose a name which reflected an ideal: Anshe Chesed, "people of loving kindness". Our Hebrew name continually challenges and guides us to instill Jewish values which foster Mitzvot and Tikkun Olam, efforts to "heal the world."

	"We seek to reach every individual in our community, and give voice to each Jewish soul. We promote Jewish learning and experience as an essential source for Jewish expression. We strive to be a spiritual community of substance." Rabbi Joshua L. Caruso		"We are a place where spirituality is nurtured and Judaism is made real; where religious growth happens and prayer, learning and social action matter. We strive to answer Isaiah's prophetic call Atem Edai, 'you are my witness.' " Rabbi Arturo L. Kalfus
	"Our song reaches where words cannot. A blessing is chanted, and it draws us in. It stirs memory and thoughts of loved ones, connecting us with our Jewish tradition in all its wisdom and beauty." Cantor Sarah J. Sager
