I pleaded with the Eternal at that time, saying, "O Eternal God, You who let Your servant see the first works of Your greatness and Your mighty hand, You whose powerful deeds no god in heaven or on earth can equal! Let me, I pray, cross over and see the good land on the other side of the Jordan, that good hill country, and the Lebanon." - Deuteronomy 3:23-25

Each Saturday morning, we gather online to examine the Torah portion assigned to the week through the lens of Mussar, a Jewish ethics-based framework where we work on improving our soul-traits. While searching for new insights regarding how our ancient tradition applies to our modern lives, we use “The Mussar Torah Commentary,” edited by Rabbi Barry Block, as the basis for this year’s discussion. 


 No prior Torah Study experience required, just hop online and BYOC ("Bring Your Own Coffee")!

During our informal (and interactive) Shabbat Morning worship, we dig deeper into the meaning of our traditional prayers and music, while including modern versions that challenge our understanding of our tradition, as well as a short Torah reading. Each week, we include a prayer for healing and the Mourner's

Kaddish in case you would like to remember those we love who are struggling and those we have lost.  All liturgy, including English readings and transliteration, are projected on screen.


Welcome to the team!


We are excited to announce our new team member, Julee Gabay. Julee will be supporting both Gerri Madenberg and Jessie Rubenstein under their own roles and respective areas of congregational life. Julee and her family live in Chandler.  


We are so thrilled to announce that Jocelyn Richards is returning to work for us on a full-time basis, effective immediately. Jocelyn has been part of our community for many years and knows our membership and TEOT community extremely well. We are thrilled to welcome her back home full time!
