The guiding principles of the congregation are:
Being an egalitarian and democratic congregation where every member is a vital part of the whole and where participation is welcomed and encouraged.
Within the framework of Conservative Judaism, we are committed to moral and spiritual growth through study of Torah, incorporating its values into our daily lives.
As a progressive congregation, we are open to experimentation and welcome the ways in which it may strengthen both our quest for spiritual connection and our commitment to Israel and the world Jewish community.
As we grow and pursue our direction, Congregation Sulam Yaakov will always be more informal than formal, a place where all can feel comfortable.
