The Gate of Building Community

The American ethos, according to Harvard professor and Bowling Alone author Robert Putnam, is to spend more time isolated and disconnected from one another. If 'bowling alone' is the problem, our shul offers a solution: warm communities where you make friends, engage in fun activities (softball, bridge, book groups), share Shabbat and holiday meals, and perform acts of grace with others, whether through Brotherhood or Sisterhood, informal opportunities or formal programs, like Havurot or K'sharim - Empty Nesters.
