Messages from the Rabbis

Welcome to Temple B'rith Kodesh!  We are delighted that you are exploring our website and learning more about our special community.  

We are proud of our congregation's commitment to inclusion, social justice, and community leadership.  We are a diverse mix of members who have been here for decades (some families descended from our founders in 1848!) and others are new to the temple and/or new to Rochester.  Everyone who joins in our activities can be themselves and bring their full, authentic self into everything they do at the temple.  

We are a congregation of lifelong learners, participating in our religious school and our Kollel adult education program.  We are a congregation of activists, seeking to make our city, state, and country more just and peaceful.  

We are a congregation of members who honor tradition and who embrace radical innovation.  And we are a congregation of members who are attached and committed to the worldwide Jewish community.  

We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your unique place in our temple family.  Welcome!
