“How good and how pleasant it is for brothers & sisters to dwell together in unity.” – Psalm 133:1

We are all seeking connection — to the Divine, and to each other. We find this in the Jewish home, synagogue, and in the daily lives of our members as they support each other through life’s triumphs and trials. We welcome you to find a place to connect and build friendships in these groups.
