Customs

  • Kipot and Talitot are optional for both men and women. We utilize Siddur Sim Shalom, which is the Conservative prayer book  (Although we are a Reform synagogue, we incorporate many traditional parts of the liturgy.) We are currently working on our own prayer book, which will include sign language for the prayers. The music is easily learned, respecting both Jewish tradition and modern innovation. At some services, we incorporate guitar, bass and keyboard to enrich the musical spirit of our services.
