Community and Sustainability
We are a vibrant and talented community of individuals that are dedicated to supporting one another and the community as a whole. Congregation Bonai Shalom is a diverse, multi-generational congregation. We have, as our foundation, a warm, accepting and participating membership. We are an inclusive congregation. We welcome and strive to accommodate people of all abilities, and encourage all members of our community to participate.
The Bonai Shalom Green Team supports and celebrates a culture of sustainability at Bonai Shalom. We work towards making the “green” decision the default choice culturally and institutionally in all aspects of synagogue life:
- Jewish education for all ages
- Holiday celebrations
- Food
- Facility and Infrastructure
- New building
