Discover the Rodeph Shalom Vision Statement

♦ Immersed in Jewish time ♦ Guided by enduring values ♦ Compelled to moral action

We create profound connections

Immersed in Jewish time Sustained by the sacred rhythms of the Jewish year, pivotal moments of the Jewish life

cycle, and generations of Jewish history, we are part of something greater than ourselves.

Living in Jewish time teaches us how to express meaning in the everyday, to gather as a

community, and to walk with each other through the joys and sorrows of our lives.

Guided by enduring values

The timeless wisdom of our tradition inspires our intentional quest for truth,

righteousness, and purpose amid the uncertainties we face in our world. We dedicate

ourselves to Judaism’s ethical messages to treat each other with loving-kindness. The

faithful, the skeptic—and those who perceive God in different ways—wrestle to renew

the teachings of Torah for our present and for the future of the Jewish people.

Compelled to moral action

In a broken world, we commit to be a voice of conscience and to engage in the work of

social justice. From our doorstep to our neighborhood and beyond, we welcome the

stranger and embrace our responsibility to connect with and learn from others.

We create profound connections

We seek meaning in shared experiences and cherish our diverse perspectives. We who

are new to synagogue life or have extensive Jewish backgrounds; we who are Jewish or

who share our lives with Jews; we who live within different family constellations, who

are of all abilities, gender identities, sexual orientations, races, and generations: we enter

the synagogue to celebrate, to learn, to laugh, to heal, to pray, to challenge ourselves,

and to connect with others about the deepest questions of our lives.

lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a

symbol on your forehead, inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Thus you shall remember to observe all My commandments and to be holy to your God.

I am Adonai, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God:

I am Adonai your God.

GRANT US PEACE, Your most precious gift, O Eternal Source of peace. And give us the will to proclaim its message to all the peoples of the earth.

Bless our country as a safeguard of peace, its advocate among the nations.

May contentment reign within our homes, health and happiness without our homes.

strengthen the bonds of friendship and fellowship

among all the inhabitants of every land.

Plant virtue in every soul, & may the love of Your Name hallow every home & every heart.

Praised are You, Eternal One, who blesses our people with peace.

9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the

spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his

hands upon him; and the Israelites heeded him,

doing as the Eternal had commanded Moses.

10 Never again did there arise in Israel a

prophet like Moses—whom the Eternal

singled out, face to face, 11 for the various

signs and portents that the Eternal sent him to

display in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh

and all his courtiers and his whole country,

12 and for all the great might and awesome

power that Moses displayed before all Israel.

1 When God began to create heaven and

earth— 2 The earth being unformed and void,

with darkness over the surface of the deep and

a wind from God sweeping over the water—

3 God said, “Let there be light”; and there was

light..

Why do we read the same book every year? When on Friday evening we

complete the Book of Deuteronomy and begin the Book of Genesis once

again, all of the words will be the same as last year. But...we won't be the

same as we were last year! Every year, we grow and come to

the Torah with new eyes. May our celebration of Simchat Torah continue to

inspire our relationship with Torah! -Rodeph Shalom Clergy
