Temple Beth Zion's Mission Statement |
|
|
Imbued with the core values of Reform Judaism, members of Temple Beth Zion Community aspire: |
|
|
|
To welcome openly all who seek to join in Jewish spirit and congregation as they experience and share the changing stages of life. |
|
|
|
To lead, through personal and public experience, toward a basic sense of oneness with God, oneness with our extended Temple family, and oneness with the community at large. |
|
|
|
To foster through the dream of Israel an ever-deepening affiliation with Jews across the boundaries of territory, time and tradition. |
|
|
|
To nurture inwardness and transcendence through study, song and silence, and spoken prayer. |
|
|
|
To teach mindfulness, caring, ethical judgement, and the meaning of being Jewish through Torah and Mitzvot; accordingly, to encourage each of us to fulfill our role Tikkun Olam, in healing the world. |
