WELCOME to Congregation Rodef Shalom

We are a Conservative synagogue of under 400 families located in southeast Denver, in the heart of Denver's Jewish community. Our members represent a cross-section of the population, from our founding senior members and older recent residents to Denver, to families with children of all ages, single parents and their families, singles and couples  with diverse experiences and backgrounds, and many young people seeking connection to the Jewish community. We are proud to be one of the oldest Conservative congregations in Denver.

We Welcome the Visitor
