STRING OF PEARLS CONGREGATION INC Information

String of Pearls is affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist movement and 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.
