"A warm, welcoming congregation..."

Rodef Sholom Temple is steeped in the rich traditions of Conservative Judaism offering a wide variety of spiritual, educational, cultural, and social programs. Our services are egalitarian and participatory. All members have the opportunity to read Torah, lead services, and receive Aliyot.

Shabbat is welcomed with a festive Kabbalat service and Oneg Shabbat. After Saturday services, a Kiddush luncheon is sponsored by Sisterhood. Tot Shabbat and Junior Congregation programs encourage the participation of our children. Morning services are held Monday and Thursday at 7:45, followed by breakfast where everyone can relax and “schmooze” prior to work or play. Congregational dinners provide opportunities to experience Shabbat and holidays as a community.

Our religious school provides classes for students in grades K-10. Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation students receive intensive instruction from Rabbi. We offer local and regional Kadima and USY youth activities. This year, Rabbi will teach conversational Hebrew and a three-part course: “G-d, Torah and Israel”.

The Gemillut Hassidim committee performs “acts of loving kindness,” assisting members who are ill, convalescing, or mourning. Transportation is available for members to attend services or activities.

Sisterhood produces “Cabaret”--an evening of theatrical entertainment directed and performed by members, followed by dancing and breakfast--the highlight of our social calendar. Men’s Club offers the opportunity to study with Rabbi and participate in various social and fundraising events.

Rodef Sholom Temple is committed to the creative integration of traditional Judaism and contemporary American life. Please visit or call to learn more. Contact Info
