We are inclusive of all who wish to be part of our thriving, enriching, caring Jewish community dedicated to the principles of Tikkun Olam. We are a place to gather for worship of God and to enjoy camaraderie and a sense of family. All are welcome who wish to join in our mission of Jewish community and worship.
About Us
We are an inclusive, not exclusive, synagogue that attracts participants from Reform Jewish services, Conservative Jewish services and Orthodox traditions – both Ashkenazi and Sephardic heritages. We meet monthly for Shabbat services at Unity of Gainesville and offer annual High Holidays services and a congregational Passover Seder. We are strongly committed to Tikkun Olam – repairing the world – through ongoing support of Georgia Mountain Food Bank and other activities. We celebrate the diversity of all people and are committed to creating a spiritual home where everyone is welcomed, affirmed, and valued. We have no dues structure and depend on the generosity of our participants to support our operations. We can be found on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
