B'nai Emet Synagogue

B'NAI EMET'S VISION

B'nai Emet Synagogue is a Conservative Jewish congregation where Judaism comes alive through inspiring religious, educational, and social programming designed to meet the evolving needs of our diverse congregants. It is a place where tradition is valued and innovation and creativity are appreciated and accepted. Congregants of all ages find a sense of belonging at B'nai Emet through t'filah (prayer), Torah (learning), tikkun olam (social justice), and kehilah (community).

B’nai Emet is a place where:

• Judaism lives in full color - progressive, spirited, vibrant and alive. A place where we find meaning and purpose; where we find ourselves spiritually inspired and judaically fulfilled.

• Everyone is welcome. A place that welcomes people with diverse lifestyles, backgrounds, or abilities seeking a Jewish connection and offering a Jewish experience to anyone who is interested. A place where we find an open and friendly community; a warm and comfortable home; a family.

• Everyone feels inspired to participate in their own way, at their own comfort level. A place where all members are encouraged and expected to participate in creating an active and involved Jewish community.

• Strong and caring lay and professional leadership connects with the congregation to inspire participation and involvement and foster a sense of belonging within our community.

• Innovation and creativity foster religious and spiritual growth. A place that recognizes the changing needs of the community and seeks opportunities to grow. A place that’s not only concerned about what it is, but what it can be.

• Jewish education is a part of life - from preschool through adult programming.

• All members are encouraged to experience Tzedakah through involvement in supportive community activities, innovative social action programming, and on-going community connections. A place where members feel connected to the congregation, the greater Jewish community, the community at large and Israel through acts of loving kindness and social responsibility.
