WHAT WE OFFER
We offer Shabbat and holiday services, a wide range of learning and social action opportunities, teen activities, and kids activities during services. We take special joy in our Bat and Bar Mitzvah ceremonies, which reflect each youth & family's unique strengths.
OUR MISSION
We show up for each other, caring for our communities and our world. We work together to pray, learn, and teach, deepening our commitment to Jewish tradition.
OUR VISION
Chevrei Tzedek Congregation is a thriving, inclusive Jewish faith community guided by Torah and the principles of the Conservative Movement. We strive to be a community where all members are creatively and actively engaged in congregational life, through ritual observance, education, governance, social justice, and community building.
OUR HISTORY
In December of 1988, a small group of people gathered to create a lay-led, egalitarian congregation affiliated with the Conservative movement of Judaism. Committed to creating a Jewish community engaged with social justice within the larger community, they called themselves Chevrei Tzedek.
In August, 2015 Chevrei Tzedek was honored to receive a Gladstein Fellowship in Entrepreneurial Leadership, a partnership with the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) and United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism (USCJ). We appreciated this experience so much that in 2019, we hired our second Gladstein Fellow, Rabbi Rory Katz, to be our spiritual leader!
Today Chevrei Tzedek continues to espouse the values of its founders. Our Shabbat and Holiday services are traditional services led by members of the congregation and by the rabbi. Many Divrei Torah ("words of Torah," or sermons) are also delivered by congregants.
