Our name, P’nai Yisrael, means, ‘faces,’ or ‘facets of Israel.‘


The Torah has infinite facets for exploration, discovery, inspiration and fulfillment. Similarly, each individual in our community represents a unique aspect of the people Israel, those who ‘wrestle’ to know God. As a Chavurah, we come together in mutual appreciation, respect, compassion and gratitude to learn, worship, celebrate and grow.
If you are seeking an intelligent, soulful and heart-centered approach to Jewish life and worship, we invite you to share our experience and celebrate with us.
