PTS is an inclusive Jewish community where everyone can find peace, inspiration, and their own connection to Judaism. Whether in the synagogue, each other’s homes, or the world beyond, Peninsula Temple Sholom creates a sacred space for those who are part of it.

  • We live Jewish values and apply the wisdom of our teachings to modern life through prayer, study and action.
  • We sustain Jewish culture through communal engagement in lifecycle events, the celebration of Shabbat and holidays, and the pleasure of laughing and learning together.
  • We strengthen our community by caring for one another and the world around us.
  • We honor our heritage and build a strong future by fostering connections with the Jewish people in the U.S., in Israel and around the world.

Core Values

Our core values define the path we take in achieving this vision and mission: 

Inclusivity

We are an extended family, rich in the diversity of our heritage, history, households, and practice. Knowing that every one of us is created in God’s image, we actively and wholeheartedly encourage all who wish to be part of our community to join us in friendship.

Caring & Kindness

Believing that a single kindness can change a life, we act with loving kindness toward one another and act to care for all in our community.

Embracing Change

Judaism has survived through the ages because we adapted to our changing world. We secure a vibrant future for our children — and the generations to follow — by continuing to evolve.

Human Connection

Our congregation is as strong as the bonds between us. We build sacred community one person and one family at a time, by fulfilling the mitzvot to share in joys and sorrows, learning and action.

Commitment to Community

Because ethics are empty without action, we realize our values by working together to pursue justice, improve our community, and uplift those in need.
