L'shanah tovah u-metukah – to a good and pleasant year.
We rejoice in the many services and programs at CRZ. Some are traditional; others offer a range of prayer experiences for all ages. Each one has been organized to meet a specific need of our diverse and busy community. Everyone is welcome.
During the High Holidays, please take a copy of this year’s Guide to Congregation Rodfei Zedek. This guide highlights the ways you and your family can stay connected throughout the year, with program and class descriptions, opportunities for lay leadership and committee participation, and a calendar of events. Revisit our website at www.rodfei.org, follow "Congregation Rodfei Zedek" on Facebook, and sign up here for our weekly email.
