Our Purpose and Mission

At Traditional we seek to combine tradition with modernity, to expand ourselves through education, and to rejoice in ourselves through commitment to family.

Traditional maintains a firm commitment to Halacha (Jewish Law). At the same time we wrestle with the application of that tradition to the changing circumstances of contemporary times. We aspire to a high level of participation in Tikkun Olam (World Improvement) and Chesed (Acts of kindness), within both the general and Jewish community.

At Traditional, our membership of about 250 families is diverse. We are united in our desire for a sense of community, pride, enthusiasm and love for learning about our rich heritage and the religious expression of our people. We welcome Jews from all points on the religious spectrum and have made provisions for both family seating and separate men and ladies seating in the sanctuary. Traditional's extensive educational programs invite all to explore the treasure chest of Judaism. Ongoing Jewish study for children and adults is encouraged as a path to spiritual, ethical and intellectual growth.

Traditional Congregation is committed to including children of all ages in Shabbat worship services. While extra effort is extended to make children feel welcome in the synagogue at all times, Traditional also offers babysitting services.

Traditional offers everyone an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. It is our intention to maintain that feeling even as our congregation grows. We hope to always be big enough to serve the community as it deserves to be served, and small enough to know each individual as he or she desires to be known.

We are affiliated with the Union for Traditional Judaism headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey.
