Congratulations to Rabbi Prass!


Rabbi Prass was recently awarded the honorary degree of Doctorate of Divinity by Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion. The degree recognizes rabbis who have made significant contributions to congregations and the Jewish people over the course of 25 years in the rabbinate. The college committee took into consideration Rabbi Prass' work at congregations in Houston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, in addition to volunteerism at URJ camps and community organizations, as well his work at the Breman Museum.


We wish all the best to Rabbi Prass, and are so glad

we have him as our rabbi!

We Stand with Israel

We are horrified by the unprovoked attacks on Israel. We have witnessed the country that holds a unique place in hearts subjected to rocket and terror attacks. Hundreds have been killed, taken hostage or are missing in inexcusable acts of aggression. Our hearts weep for all the innocent people of the region affected by these terror groups. We pray for the safe return of innocent hostages and the forces of peace to bring calm and safety to this Holy Land.  We stand in solidarity with our Israeli brothers and sisters and all those affected by these acts of violence and terror.
