Freedom of pulpit and pew, school and society

In keeping with the congregation’s historical foundations, our commitment to religious exploration and secular equality is reflected in the behavior and ideals of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue's members. 

The common interests of cherishing the Jewish faith, traditions, and practice of Reform Judaism and supporting the people and the state of Israel personifies the strength of our highly diverse membership.

Worship, programs, projects and activites demonstrate our members' commitment to the precept of tikkun olam through meaningful social service and social action in the local community and beyond. The clergy, professional staff, and lay leadership collaborate in the conduct of synagogue functions in a constructive and collegial alliance, with respect for varied points of view. The congregation enjoys the vigorous participation of its members. All segments of the synagogue community value comprehensive and open communication.

Our synagogue community welcomes unaffiliated Jews, interfaith partners, and all who choose to be part of our inclusive and spiritually enriching community.
