The Six Pillars of Shomrei Torah Synagogue

Shomrei Torah Synagogue is a Kehillah Kedosha, a sacred community, where our programming and values rest on the foundation of six pillars of sacred thought.

Knowing Before Whom You Stand - דע לפני מי אתה עומד Da Lifnei Mi Atah Omed: Nurturing and developing a relationship with God enhances our spiritual well being and enriches our existence.		Opening Our Hands to Those in Need - פותח את ידך *Poteach Et Yadecha:* Actively engaging in caring for others gives us a sense of belonging, purpose and a feeling of value.

Learning and Teaching - ללמד וללמד *Lilmod u'Lelamed:* As learners and teachers, each individual engages in the wisdom of our rich tradition through the study of Torah.		Supporting Israel - בונה ירושלים Bonei Yerushalayim: Creating meaningful ways to cultivate connections to Israel, our Jewish homeland.

Upholding and Practicing Mitzvot - לשמור ולעשות *Lishmor v'La'asot:* Practicing mitzvot connects us as a people to God, each other, our community and our world.		Celebrating with Community - לששון ולשמחה L'sasson u'L'simcha: Celebrating the joy of Jewish life strengthens our sense of community and creates our congregation's shared memory and history
