welcome
Our synagogue began in May of 1982, when a small group
of people came together to create the Sonoma County Synagogue Center, a
congregation affiliated with the Reconstructionist
movement. For many years we were without a permanent home, and we
held our services and our school sessions in different locations. In
the spring of 1994, we acquired our building and shortly thereafter
changed our name to Congregation Ner Shalom.
Today, our congregation continues to thrive, nurtured
and sustained by the energy and commitment of our congregants and
staff. We are a spiritual community, devoted to Judaism as a "way of
life" and not simply a "lifestyle". Through prayer, education and
caring for each other, we are living our Judaism.
We invite you to join with us and look forward to
welcoming you into the Ner Shalom community.
