RELIGIOUS LIFE
The Jewish community of Greater Philadelphia benefits from a wide diversity
of synagogues available. Nevertheless, all synagogues share a common
mission and fulfill a common function: to preserve Jewish religious and
communal traditions, not merely as a valuable heritage, but as a vital way of
life. The function is to provide a setting in which observance, education and
commitment can be carried out with other members of the community.
