We are a small congregation with only 300 member families. Our school is also small. Our Guiding Principles include inclusive language. We are the only Jewish congregation in a medium size town with a significant student population at LSU and other schools, and we want Jewish members of the LGBTQ community to know they have a place to come that is welcoming, safe and inclusive.
