Activities

The synagogue was founded in 2010,[2][3] and purchased a permanent synagogue building in 2012.[4] Although the congregants are mostly members of the Chabad movement, services include litigurical styles similar to Carlebach minyanim.[5][6] The congregation has garnered local attention for their popular programming.[7][8] After going many years without a spiritual leader, the synagogue appointed Rabbi Moshe and Sheterna Gitler as the new Rabbi and Rebbetzin.
