We strive to be a warm and welcoming community, with cherished traditions – yet open to new faces and new ideas. We are business people and professionals, merchants and caregivers, artists and teachers, working and retired families, young and old, couples and singles, Jews-by-Choice, traditional and non-traditional and interfaith families.

We are especially happy to have in our congregation many New Americans, Jews from the former Soviet Union who have found new homes in Erie. Our Jewish lives are enriched by the diversity in our midst.
