Advantages of a small congregation
Synagogues come in all sizes. Some are large, with memberships numbering in the thousands. Some are small, with only a few people worshipping in a member’s home. Each size has its advantages. While there are things a larger congregation can do with its increased resources, many of us find benefits from belonging to a small community that are often lost in larger organization.
- Stronger sense of family
- Greater opportunities for each of us to grow individually
- More opportunities to volunteer
- More adaptable in facing challenges
- Affordable B’nai Mitzvah
- Personalized attention
