Regular weekly and holy day worship and educational services, online and eventually in-person, as well as officiating Jewish lifecycle events for community members and others. Services are performed by law leaders, leaders in training, and ordained members of our congregation. Other related programming as needed will be offered to support the spiritual life and development of the community. All worship and regular congregational activities are open to anyone, regardless of religious affiliation, that has a sincere interest in worship and educational experiences. Development of a congregational Siddur is underway. 0 0 A Mutual Aid program to collect funds for charitable disbursements: In the 24-25 Fiscal Year, we provided small grants to individuals who were unemployed; who had HVAC issues; who needed household goods and clothing; study materials for Bnei Mitzvah; Shabbat supplies; moving expenses; as well as helping cover emergency expenses for Disabled and for LGBTQ persons. 2854 0 Academy program: Development of a lay women's leadership program continues.

Opportunities to attend such events will be offered to both lay leaders and ordained members, as well as other members of the congregation who wish to participate.
