The congregation constantly tries to remind the members of its community of Its ancient tradition. Educational programs serve this purpose. especially courses in Jewish law and customs. and modern Hebrew. As a religious center founded by survivors of the Holocaust and refugees from Nazi Germany. the congregation feels a special affinity with survivors and victims of those horrendous events. Last year the congregation along with other synagogues in the area held a community wide observance of the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. which was attended by over 1.000 people. The congregations contributions have not been limited to the local sphere however.
