About us
We are a warm community, welcoming Jews (and loved ones) of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, and abilities. We meet a few times each month to celebrate Shabbat and festivals through prayer and study, singing and meditating, eating and drinking.
We have an incredible Hebrew School where each student learns at their own individual pace, and we craft each B’nei Mitzvah process to be personally meaningful. Please be in touch with Michal if you would like to enroll your child in our Hebrew School, and if you have a child nearing the age of 12, please contact Cantor Myerson about B’nei Mitzvah.
Upcoming Services and Events
SONG CIRCLES
Our popular monthly Monday evening activity, Song Circles, returns. You are most welcome to join our leader, long-time RIJC Member, Amber Levanon Seligson , as she takes us on a journey exploring the history & evolution of 3 songs and their lyrics & melodies at each session.
No musical or singing experience is necessary — just a healthy curiosity & desire to try something new.
Feel free to contact Amber directly, with any questions at alseligson@gmail.com.
