Dorshei Tzedek is a dynamic and growing Reconstructionist congregation. We are dedicated to Jewish learning and to ethical Jewish living in the modern world.
Our community has approximately 170 member households and includes people from traditional Jewish backgrounds, interfaith families, and people with little or no previous Jewish learning or experience. Our membership includes families, couples, and singles; children and elders; Jews by birth and Jews by choice (or still choosing). We value and include everyone who shares our commitment to living and learning about compassionate, ethical Judaism regardless of age, marital status, income level, or sexual orientation.
In partnership with Rabbi Toba Spitzer, members share in the leadership of the congregation and take an active role in decision-making and planning community events and activities.
When We Gather
Congregation Dorshei Tzedek meets each Saturday for Shabbat morning services. Once a month this service is preceded by Torah study led by Rabbi Spitzer. Additionally, we have monthly Friday evening family and adult-oriented services. We also gather for life-cycle events, celebrate the holidays and sponsor a variety of adult education classes.
Religious services are held at 60 Highland Street in West Newton. Please check our calendar for dates and times. Call 617-965-0330 for more information or check our contacts page.
Our Children's Education
Congregation Dorshei Tzedek's Religious School holds Shabbat morning classes for children in grades K-2 and a Tuesday/Thursday afternoon program for grades 3-7. Our bar and bat mitzvah students participate with their parents in a family education program. Our religious school is at the First Unitarian Society, 1326 Washington Street, a short distance from 60 Highland Street. For more information about the religious school, call 617-965-5443 or contact us.
