     Har Zion Congregation aspires to be a source of inspiration to those who congregate within its walls. At the foot of Mt. Sinai, long ago, individuals became a holy congregation. From that moment on, they were bound together by bonds of common commitments and shared values. Har Zion is a creative source and spiritual center for a caring, concerned community. We invite you to join us. 

    Har Zion Congregation is a Conservative synagogue affiliated with The United Synagogue of America.
