Mitzvah Day 2011
Kerem Shalom is a diverse and welcoming unaffiliated Jewish community located in Concord, Massachusetts.
With many of our members living in interfaith families, Kerem Shalom is a vibrant, supportive home for Jews by birth, Jews by choice, and their families.
We carry on our rich heritage by observing and participating in Jewish holiday celebrations, life-cycle observances and the rituals and traditions of Jewish life.
We value innovation and recognize its role in keeping Judaism exciting and vital. Our services, school and programs combine prayer, music and spiritual approaches drawn from Judaism and other sources.
Welcoming
In keeping with Judaism’s ideals, we are a diverse and welcoming congregation. We are committed to all our families. We are strengthened by both our shared heritage and our differences in beliefs, customs, family composition, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, race and economic status.
While we are officially “unaffiliated,” our philosophy and approach to Jewish life are closest to Reconstructionism. Reconstructionism defines Judaism as the evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people.
Our gender-neutral prayerbook includes transliterations of all the Hebrew songs and prayers, along with accessible English translations and poetic interpretations of the traditional liturgy.
Justice, Kindness, Compassion
We believe the ideals of Judaism — justice, kindness, and compassion — mean we must reach beyond ourselves to help others in need, safeguard human rights, and protect personal freedoms.
Our services and programs help us to try and achieve these goals, to teach them to our children, and to share ideas, concerns, sorrows and joys with other members of the Kerem Shalom community.
