essence of Jewish religious faith.
Community Service / We recognize our responsibility
to render selfless service as citizens of the community
in which we live.
Philanthropy / We shall always be concerned with the
underprivileged and the distressed. We shall offer our
help to those in need, recognizing that the ability to
help others is a blessing and a responsibility.

We shall so live as individuals and groups that we may
reflect credit upon the Jewish people.
