Our Mission
String of
Pearls is a participatory Reconstructionist congregation dedicated to creating
a supportive and inclusive Jewish community. We explore the evolving nature of
Jewish life within the framework of Judaism's enduring values. We affirm the
concept of mitzva as obligation by acting on those values through the
practices of torah
(learning), avodah (service), and g'milut hasadim (acts of kindness).
As progressive American Jews, we are committed to challenging and being challenged by Jewish traditions for the enrichment of our own lives and for the perpetuation of our bond, and our children's bond, with our heritage. By engaging with these traditions, we seek to stimulate our intellects, uplift our souls, and help repair the world.
Our Vision
Growing
meaningful Jewish experiences.
