Shabbat
followed by members speaking on "What I Believe"




As Humanistic Jews, we believe that human beings rather than supernatural authority have responsibility for solving human problems. We provide opportunities for intellectual and spiritual growth and a sense of belonging. Our goal is to create a context for our diverse Jewish and intercultural members. We offer a humanistic interpretation of Jewish religious practices and culture in our celebrations and social events.

 .

Kol Shalom is a vibrant community, priding itself in the warm support enjoyed by its members and the mutuality of interests and values which connect us. At the same time, we function, in many respects, as a congregation. Like other congregations, we hold Jewish holiday services and celebrations, we offer education in the history and culture of the Jewish people for adults and children, and we observe life-cycle events, often enlivened by our Music Makers chorus. We have within us the bones of a congregation with the heartbeat of a community. We believe this melding serves us well.
