We are a synagogue founded five years ago to create a small cohesive traditional egalitarian proIsrael religious community affiliated with the Conservative movement in the Newton area.

We are dedicated to enhancing our Jewish identities through learning, practice, and prayer; celebrating together at holiday, lifecycle, and social events; studying our people’s history in the land of Israel and the Diaspora and helping modern Israel thrive as a Jewish state.

We welcome people of all ages, singles, couples, families with or without kids, interfaith couples, and are GLBT friendly. We don't have a Hebrew school, but we do have programs for kids.  We are particularly well suited for families with children in Jewish day schools.

You DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER to come to any of our meetups or to Kaballat Shabbat or Shabbat morning services.  Please come and check us out!
