Nahalat Shalom is a welcoming, inclusive congregation that inspires understanding of the joys, practices, and ethics of Judaism
and nurtures spiritual growth.  

Israel/Palestine and Nahalat Shalom
For two thousand years, it has been said that wherever there are two Jews, there are three opinions. In too many Jewish congregations today, when it comes to Israel/Palestine, it seems that only one opinion is allowed. At Nahalat Shalom, we have as many opinions as we have congregants -- plus one, of course. When we put "inclusive" in our self-description, we meant it and we mean it. Hard times require hard discussions; we try to have those discussions. We are not always good at it, but we continue to try. We hope you'll join us.
