Welcome to The Shalom Collaborative
Sharing Inclusive Paths of Jewish Spiritual Exploration, Learning and Service
We are a welcoming spiritual community that embraces the progressive values of the Classical Reform Jewish tradition. Our worship, conducted primarily in English, is inclusive and accessible. We offer a warm, unconditional welcome to all who seek to join us in worship, study, and service, without regard to religious background or beliefs. One need not be born Jewish, be able to read Hebrew, or convert to Judaism to be a full, participating member. Interfaith families and people of all faiths, including the unaffiliated, are fully embraced. Members of the LGBTQ community are a vibrant part of our community.

the diverse but cohesive community we hope to create, composed of individuals each of whom
is an indispensable part of our total picture! Photo Credit: James Robinson.
HIGH HOLY DAYS 2025-5786
A Meaningful High Holy Day Season Together
This year, our Temple community gathered in members’ homes and on zoom to celebrate and conclude the High Holy Days. Each space was filled with warmth, prayer, and a true sense of connection — reminders that holiness is not limited to a building, but created wherever we come together in community.
From heartfelt worship to shared reflection and song, these days were both intimate and inspiring. We are deeply grateful to those who opened their homes and to everyone who joined us in making this season so memorable.
May the spirit of renewal and togetherness we experienced carry us forward into a year of blessing, joy, and peace.
L’shanah Tovah — may 5786 be sweet and meaningful for all.
About Us
We gather, as old friends and new, for prayer and celebration in a variety of formats and schedules. We are not a formal congregation, but rather a virtual spiritual community “without walls”. We will offer a variety of special programs and experiences open to all interested people, of various spiritual paths and practice. Our worship, whether Shabbat and holiday Services, always includes the sharing of the accessible, inclusive liturgy and music of the Reform Jewish tradition. Additionally, we join in the online worship offerings of Jewish congregations from around the world who share our progressive values. More informal gatherings for less structured spiritual exploration and celebration are also available in a variety of settings.
