"My House shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples." 

Isaiah 56:7

We are proud of the fact that Rodef Shalom is a community in which every member of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community who resonates to a liberal interpretation of our faith is welcomed!  Our congregational family includes men and women, irrespective of age, marital or family status, sexual orientation, faith tradition of origin, or financial means, who seek to be a part of a sacred community dedicated to a liberal Jewish approach to making life meaningful.  Our members come from diverse backgrounds, and here all definitions of the modern Jewish family are respected and celebrated!

Our congregation's entire array of religious, educational, social and community service programming is built upon a foundation of welcome and inclusion.  Every single member of Rodef Shalom is integral to our achieving our prophetic goal: daily improving our world by making every individual feel valued, and making every encounter we have with one another significant.  Our rabbis and staff, in collaboration with our membership at large, seek to engage and involve every one in our community in our collective efforts.

Whether you or your family trace your association with Pittsburgh's most dynamic congregational community over many generations, you have heard of our congregation's dynamism and want to learn more, or you are new to Pittsburgh or congregational life and seek an historic yet progressive Reform Jewish congregation, please take some time to familiarize yourself with our website, contact us to schedule a visit, or stop by when you are in the neighborhood.

We would love to help you better understand where you fit in!  We'll look forward to seeing you soon!
