Why join CEEW?

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and virtual home. More importantly: we hope that, after learning a little bit about us, you’ll be inclined to visit our actual home in Waukesha, so that we can meet you in person. As you enter through our doors, we hope that you will notice that our congregation is an inclusive one. Anyone from any background seeking out a meaningful Jewish life and Jewish home is welcomed here. Ours is also a community that takes its spirituality and learning seriously. If you and your children are looking to be challenged and enriched by the melodies, texts, and values of our Tradition, then we trust that you will feel very much at home here. Most of all, we happen to believe that spending time with your synagogue, whether you are a 5th grader or getting Social Security, should never feel boring or onerous. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we passionately believe that it’s a good thing to have fun at synagogue (at least every once in a while!). We hope, to that end, that you come to find that our space and our community foster the simple joy that comes along with living a Jewish life.
