Jill Volk Memorial

Dorshei Tzedek is a dynamic and growing Reconstructionist congregation. We are dedicated to Jewish learning and to ethical Jewish living in the modern world. Our religious school is a Reconstructionist education program committed to making Judaism relevant and meaningful for children as well as parents.

Our community has approximately 170 member households and includes people from traditional Jewish backgrounds, interfaith families, and people with little or no previous Jewish learning or experience. Our membership includes families, couples, and singles; children and elders; Jews by birth and Jews by choice (or still choosing). We value and include everyone who shares our commitment to living and learning about compassionate, ethical Judaism regardless of age, marital status, income level, or sexual orientation.

In partnership with Rabbi Toba Spitzer (who has recently received the honor of being included in both Newsweek's Top 50 Rabbis in America 2008 list, as well as the Forward 50 list) members share in the leadership of the congregation and take an active role in decision-making and planning community events and activities.

Mission Statement

When We Gather

Congregation Dorshei Tzedek meets each Saturday for Shabbat morning services. Once a month this service is preceded by Torah study led by Rabbi Spitzer. Additionally, we have monthly Friday evening family and adult-oriented services. We also gather for life-cycle events, celebrate the holidays and sponsor a variety of adult education classes.

Religious services are held at 60 Highland Street in West Newton. Please check our calendar for dates and times. Call 617-965-0330 for more information or check our contacts page.
