This week’s parasha

God appears to Abraham, who welcomes three visitors, and they announce that Sarah will have a son within a year. Abraham pleads with God to spare Sodom for the sake of any righteous people there; the angels rescue Lot and his daughters, Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed, and Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt.

Who we are

Its ways are pleasant, and all its paths are peace.

The Chevra is a modern Orthodox synagogue that embraces Jews from all walks of life.

Here, the smallest step towards Judaism counts as a major leap. Torah learning, prayer and acts of kindness are the heart of the community we are building together.

More about us

“We were introduced to the Chevra and immediately felt at home.”
