Look for your Inclusion Survey

B'nai Jeshurun recently created an Inclusion Committee with the guidance of United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Ruderman Family Foundation. 

The purpose of this committee is to enhance programs and services that our synagogue provides to meet the needs of our congregants. For those with visual, hearing, movement or other physical, cognitive, developmental, sensory, emotional/mental health  challenges, it is the goal of the Inclusion Committee to present key issues and recommendations to our Board of Trustees to support our member/guest needs. The Committee will seek to identify, prioritize and begin the processes to implement these changes/accommodations, enhancing the synagogue experience for all.

When you receive your survey, please take a few minutes to complete it so that our professional and lay leadership can create a baseline from which to start. Thank you.

The  Synagogue has grown from 40 families to over 200 in last few years, in part due to the migration of French Jews leaving.  Many Polish and other Eastern European Jews traveled thru Porto in the 1930s/1940s on their way to US, Caribbean, South America.  If you have a story to share, please contact them directly or through our member, Michael Ellis.
