| 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. |
