In the Beginning
Beresheet
בראשׁית
More than 60 years ago, 60 families found one another and committed to building a Jewish home for themselves and for generations to come. Pursuers of peace, they sanctified the ground on which we now stand, the structures they built and the name written on the doorposts of our welcoming gates, Congregation Rodef Sholom.
