Mission Statement

Each of the Five Books of Moses emphasizes dimensions of Jewish life. Genesis (Small Group Bonding), Exodus (The Blessing of Torah), Leviticus (Ritual and Spirituality), Numbers (Making A Better Society), Deuteronomy (Bonding with all types of Jews.) We at CAI are proud of our role as a leading and pro-active egalitarian Conservative congregation that embodies these five principles in a pluralistic manner for all ages and stages of Jewish living. We provide an extraordinary variety of religious, educational, cultural and recreational venues, planned jointly and pro-actively by an exemplary professional staff and an engaged lay leadership. We help our diverse and multi-generational membership to experience Judaism in ways that have personal meaning and promote Jewish values for people moving through the Jewish life cycle. We seek to enable our members to ascend "the ladder of Jewish commitment" at their own pace, feeling more and more part of our "second home" as a CAI family.

Affiliated with The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Masorti movement
