Adath Jeshurun

His­tory

Con­gre­ga­tion Adath Jeshu­run is ded­i­cated to Con­ser­v­a­tive Judaism and its dynamic inter­pre­ta­tion of Jew­ish law, offer­ing a vari­ety of oppor­tu­ni­ties for indi­vid­ual and com­mu­nal spir­i­tual growth.

The Con­gre­ga­tion is com­mit­ted to life-long edu­ca­tion (Torah), a tra­di­tional style of wor­ship (Avo­dah) and acts of lov­ing kind­ness, both within and out­side the Jew­ish com­mu­nity (G’milut Hassadim).

The Con­gre­ga­tion empha­sizes egal­i­tar­i­ansm, which results in con­sciously striv­ing to pro­vide women and men the oppor­tu­nity to share equal respon­si­bil­i­ties and priv­i­leges in all aspects of syn­a­gogue life.

The Con­gre­ga­tion fos­ters a sense of fam­ily, togeth­er­ness, and socia­bil­ity among its mem­bers by being part of their daily lives, min­is­ter­ing to their life cycle needs, and offer­ing sup­port at crit­i­cal times.

The Con­gre­ga­tion intends to achieve its mis­sion with sen­si­tiv­ity to and broad involve­ment of its mem­bers in a warm, wel­com­ing envi­ron­ment, while con­tribut­ing to the wel­fare of the total community.

The Con­gre­ga­tion spon­sors a broad array of social events, speak­ers, retreats, music pro­grams, art projects, Israel trips, cruises and more.

Adath Jeshu­run has an award-winning preschool and par­tic­i­pates in a com­mu­nity reli­gious school and Hebrew school. There are also active youth groups, adult edu­ca­tion and social action programs.
