Values

  • Jewish tradition tells us that Torah is not only to be studied: it is to be lived. We steadfastly walk our talk, so that the power of words and the power in deeds stay aligned and feed each other. Learn about our social justice commitment.

    Action

  • We are anchored in the central city and reach out from here to foster a community of people across the metropolitan area committed to the health of the urban core, and to the idea that Jews should be part of it.

    Presence

  • We seek to help bridge the gaps and repair the broken places in ourselves, in each other, in our neighbors, and in and between all the communities and spheres of Kansas City. Learn more about our social justice activities.
