Welcome to Sukkat Shalom
 A unique and innovative congregation celebrating diversity. Welcoming the intermarried, the unaffiliated, and those searching for a meaningful Jewish life.
Sukkat Shalom means a "sukkah of peace." A sukkah is open with no roof or permanent walls. Sukkat Shalom, the Open Congregation, uses the image of a sukkah to remind us that our spiritual life is open to others and to God - flexible and dynamic.
We offer a full program of innovative family education, meaningful and creative worship, adult discussion and study, interfaith couple support groups, and holiday observances.
Sukkat Shalom is a progressive synagogue in which to explore Jewish thought and search for personal meaning.
We invite you to join us in the creation of this exciting and dynamic synagogue!
