Who We Are
Who We Are
We are an unaffiliated and lay-led Jewish community in Lawrence, KS.
We are locals, we are transplants, we are Jews by birth, we are Jews by choice, and we are family and neighbors who love Jewish community.
We are egalitarian and pluralistic and we welcome folks who want to be with us in that spirit.
We provide Friday night or Saturday morning Shabbat services as well as holiday services and celebrations.
Given the diversity of our community and our commitment to inclusivity, our services are in both Hebrew and English, with lay leaders having the option to lead from Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist prayer books and handouts.
As a general rule, we have Friday night services (either in-person or virtually) every week save for the second weekend of the month when we hold Saturday Torah services.

NovNovember 16 , 2025The Magic Eye: Healing, Spirit, and Community: A reading and discussion with Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg
Sunday, Nov 16th 4:00p to 5:30p
The Magic Eye: A Story of Saving a Life & a Place in the Age of Anxiety focuses on the healing power of place and community in unfolding Caryn’s journey through a rare and dangerous eye cancer intertwined with Ken and Caryn finding a way to save the family land where they live after 35 years of effort. This memoir speaks to being part of an eco-community, human community, and especially the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, which Caryn will read and speak about, highlighting how her story, like many of ours, is also a spiritual excursion into finding new ways to see the world and belong to a community.
