Mission Statement
Welcoming, diverse, multi-generational and egalitarian community located in Hyde Park, Chicago.
While rooted in the traditions and values of the Conservative/Masorti movement, our membership encompasses the full spectrum of Jewish observance and identity.
Our clergy, in partnership with our lay leaders, are committed to enhancing the spiritual dimension of our modern Jewish lives by providing a wide range of opportunities for our members to integrate Judaism into their daily lives and to connect with others while discovering and embodying their own individual expressions of Jewish practice. In turn, our members shape the future of this community by taking ownership of its programs and priorities. We believe that Jewish education is a lifelong activity, and we offer a full spectrum of learning opportunities for people of every age - but especially by embracing and supporting our children and their families through our partnership with the Jewish Enrichment Center and our B-Mitzvah program.
At Rodfei Zedek (pursuers of justice), we strive to make a difference in our local community as a way to move closer to a world that values dignity, the infinite worth of each human life, equality, and lovingkindness. We foster complex, nuanced, and respectful dialog among our members so that all voices are heard.
We welcome you to add your voice to the chorus of many voices that make up one vibrant Rodfei Zedek community.
