WHO WE ARE: The 4 M’s
MEMORY
We use our collective Jewish memory to guide us on our paths. We pass our tradition from generation to generation and create new Jewish memories for those who come after us.
MITZVAH
We strive to create a community centered in kindness and serve as a place where people are inspired to perform Mitzvot as part of their very being, representing the best of humanity.
MENTSCH MAKING
We create a holy community, beginning with the walls of our synagogue and flowing outward, where everyone is special and has something unique to offer. We teach one another to be good, kind and caring.
MAKING MEANING
We treat each minute, from the classroom to the boardroom, as a gift from God to be used wisely. We search for meaning in all that we do. In times of joy and sadness, we commit to bringing a Jewish message to those moments, filling time with depth.
