TORAT HAYIM (URJ)
Torah Portion of the Week


Welcome to North Shore Congregation Israel

Follow one of many inviting pathways at NSCI.  Find meaning and purpose when you walk through the synagogue doors.  Learn here how to apply the principles of Torah and the traditions of Judaism to your everyday life and activities.  Our warm, welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the resources of a large and growing synagogue await you.

All are invited, and all are welcome.  This synagogue can be an extension of your own family.  Take advantage of all NSCI has to offer, and join us in our special goal of repairing the world. 

Again this year, we are reaching out to the unaffiliated in our community by offering a trial membership rate for one year.  We hope to encourage Jewish families to come to the synagogue and experience our beautiful worship services and extensive programming.

News Upcoming Events
NSCI CARES: Operation New Orleans February 12-15, 2009
Join NSCI clergy on a service-based trip to help with the restoration of New Orleans.  The trip is open to individuals and families with children 12 and over.  We will be hearing from a number of speakers who will update us on the status of the restoration in New Orleans, sharing in a New Orleans Shabbat experience, and volunteering at different not-for-profit agencies to support the immediate needs of those “on the ground” and well as contribute to the ongoing rebuilding process.  The trip involves a significant amount of physical activity, so potential participants should keep this in mind.

The trip has limited space, so if you are interested, you can reserve a spot with a deposit of $200 per person.  Please mail your deposit to the synagogue office, attention:  Rabbi Geffen.  Because the trip is of a volunteer nature, it is tax deductible!  The cost of the trip is approximately $950 per person.   Please click here to view the itinerary.
