Welcome to Congregation Ner Shalom!

We are a spirited and diverse community of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Together we explore Jewish-centered paths of ritual, learning, song, community-building and mindfulness.

Ner Shalom offers Kabbalat Shabbat services to welcome the Sabbath on the first and third Fridays of each month. We have a family-friendly Shabbat Dinner on the second Friday of each month. We celebrate holidays together and mark the life cycle events of our members.

We welcome visitors, new members, interfaith families, LGBTQ families, families with special needs - and you.
