A progressive Jewish congregation within Charleston's heart and history...

Picture
A community committed to the religious beliefs and practices of Reform Judaism. We invite our members to celebrate their individuality, determining what Judaism means to them and how it should best be reflected in their lives and through their contributions.

A community committed to strengthening our Jewish identity and advancing our Jewish beliefs through an abiding commitment to education and enrichment in Jewish lore and legacy, applying the principles of progress, pluralism and democracy to the core Jewish values of study, worship, and good deeds.

A community of active people who are working tirelessly to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

A welcoming and giving community, always reaching out to help our Jewish and non-Jewish friends, neighbors and colleagues.

A community that treasures its diversity in all its forms – age, marital or partnership status, gender identity, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity – and practices every day its commitment to honoring these differences as strengths that enrich our congregational life.

Established in 1873
