Small Groups

Connect. Belong. Grow.

Small Groups are convened by volunteers, and their goal is to deepen relationships among our congregants. Each group has eight to fifteen participants and each person may join only one group. Group membership is first-come, first-served. Conveners work hard to plan events and volunteer their personal time to help the synagogue build meaningful connections so please respond to their emails and texts so we can make sure groups are as successful as possible!
