FAQs

The word ‘synagogue’ conjures different things for different people. We choose not to use the word to underscore that we are creating something new. NuShul is a Judaism refresh.

What is NuShul?
NuShul is a new space for Jewish communal experience, spirituality, prayer and gathering. Respectfully non-denominational, NuShul brings
us together, in person, to share familiar liturgy
and music, lifecycle celebrations, holidays and memorials, and to explore the how and why of Jewish practice.
Why?
In an era that calls for change, Jewish community
life is calling for a reinvigorated and reimagined spirit. The time is ripe to combine traditional wisdom with forward thinking programming.
For Whom?
NuShul is for individuals seeking deeper meaning, for anyone looking to be re-enchanted with Judaism, for couples creating their own path, for parents who wish to see their families grow together and for their children who we hope will love what we have come to cherish; and for those eager to learn and develop new ways of living Jewishly within a loving, welcoming and inclusive community.
