Who We Are
Dorshei Tzedek is a dynamic and growing Reconstructionist congregation in West Newton, Massachusetts, with over 260 member households. We are dedicated to Jewish learning and to ethical Jewish living in the modern world. Our Reconstructionist educational program is committed to making Judaism relevant and meaningful for children as well as adults. Our community includes people from a wide variety of Jewish backgrounds, as well as interfaith families and people with little or no previous Jewish learning or experience. We embrace one another’s unique points of view. Our membership includes families, couples, and singles of all ages, Jews by birth and Jews by choice (or still choosing). We value and include everyone regardless of age, marital status, race, ability, income level, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Congregation Dorshei Tzedek supports Black Lives
CDT is committed to the movement for Black lives and has joined over 600 Jewish organizations in signing THIS LETTER - saying with one voice that the best way we can fight back is with unity.
