Values

A United Jewish People Clal Yisrael כְּלַל יִשְרָאֵל
Even while we recognize our differences, we celebrate the strength of our commonalities. Jews throughout the world have a common heritage and history as well as a common set of moral values and bodies of text that underlie and inform their diverse traditions and beliefs. Appreciating these commonalities and areas of diversity strengthens us as individuals and as a community.
