mission & values

The mission of the Tidewater Chavurah is to provide a place of  Jewish worship, to encourage Jewish education, to initiate  Jewish family activities, and to cultivate a love and understanding of the Jewish heritage. We value a friendly, warm, supportive, and egalitarian community which welcomes all who wish to practice the Jewish traditions. We value the Torah and our Jewish heritage. We value G'milut Chasidim (Acts of Loving Kindness) and Tzedakah (Charity) for those who are in need. We value our children and families in a flexible and tolerant environment. We value growth and renewal. Lastly, we are open to the diversity of traditions throughout our Jewish communities.
