Our Community
Nitzanim families come from all kinds of backgrounds — interfaith, queer, deeply rooted, or exploring Judaism for the first time. What we share is a love of nature, ancient wisdom, creative expression, and meaningful practice. Congregation Ner Shalom membership is not required. It is important to us that Nitzanim be accessible to you wherever you are in your Jewish journey — and that Jewish community be available to your children from the time they are born.
What We Do Together
Each gathering unfolds as a kind of pop-up Jewish village — through song, prayer, nature, art, story, movement, and text. Children learn in age-appropriate groups while adults gather in their own reflection circle. We celebrate Jewish holidays beyond synagogue walls, read the land as if it were Torah, and let the cycle of the seasons illuminate the rhythms of Jewish time. The whole family comes. The whole family belongs.
