Welcome To Congregation Solel

Rabbi Moffic was joined by some "shoveling experts" on Sunday, September 13, as we broke ground on our upcoming building improvements--a warm, inviting new lounge and enhanced administrative space. The kids had so much fun they didn't know when to stop!!!

  A message from Rabbi Moffic…

  "As Reform Jews, our definition of community is intentionally broad. It includes interfaith families and all of those who seek a spiritual home in our synagogue. In this way, we seek to continue our identity as a pathfinder congregation. As I have learned, in the late 1950s, leaders of the congregation chose the name Solel for a reason. it is a Hebrew word meaning pathfinder, or trailblazer. The congregation was meant to be a synagogue that tried new things and charted new paths in Jewish life. In 2009, I think the idea of a pathfinder congregation has an additional meaning. As a congregation, we will continue to be a place that creatively charts new paths in Jewish life. And we will be a place that honors and embraces individuals in their unique paths of Jewish life."
