Our Guiding Principles
Meeting the social and spiritual needs of our brothers. We recognize our diversity. Some of us are young and some old. Some of us are straight, others gay. Some of us are gifted with intellectual abilities; others are blessed with physical or artistic talents. Some of us are rich and some are poor. Some of us were born Jewish, others have become Jews. With all our diversity, we are brothers.
Transmitting our religious values to future generations. As biological or adoptive fathers and as teachers in our community, we fulfill the ancient commandment”…you shall teach them to your children.” We seek to teach future generations of Jews through our words and our deeds.
Fulfilling the ethical and ritual mitzvot of Judaism. We search for ways to express our uniquely masculine spirituality through meaningful rituals, both ancient and contemporary.
The right of Jewish women to full and equal participationin all aspects of Jewish life. We recognize the uniquely feminine spiritual energy women bring to our religious traditions. We value and encourage the work of the WRJ and the Congregation Albert Sisterhood.
The pursuit of knowledge of Torah.We study the ancient and modern teachers of our faith. We make the teachings of Judaism the foundation of our moral being.
Supporting the Jewish State of Israel and our fellow Jews around the world.
Sponsoring and promoting the "Jewish Chautauqua Society,"herein referred to as JCS. JCS provides knowledge and education about Jews and Judaism, brings about an appreciation of the Jewish people, their history, religion, and culture, and builds bridges of understanding between peoples of all faiths and cultures.
