Worship at The Community Synagogue

Every Shabbat and on all Jewish festivals, our congregation gathers to worship together in the beauty of the Reform Jewish tradition. Shabbat is a time to pause each week and put aside the demands on our lives.  It is a time for personal and collective reflection and renewal. The Community Synagogue offers a variety of worship experiences. We invite you as a member, visitor or guest to discover worship that is meaningful to you. Mishkan T’filah is the prayerbook we use for all services.
