To excite and inspire the unaffiliated; To provide warm, welcoming and meaningful religious services; To embrace our congregants at times of need; To enrich our Judaic knowledge; To enhance our ritual observance and performance of mitzvot; To be a central meeting place for cultural, social, political and recreational activities. Vision:
