The Jews are surprisingly honest in synagogue, but in the streets and market places, I’m ashamed to tell you.”

DT Bo 2017 - Steven Carr Reuben
“How do you know when you have really grown up?” I remember being asked that question one evening by one of my 10th grade Confirmation students, and how it produced one of the most thoughtful and reflective discussions we had that entire year.

Congregation T'chiyah is Reconstructing Jewish Life in Metro Detroit
Before we unveiled our new organizational new name in 2018, Congregation T’chiyah in Oak Park, Mich., was using the phrase “Reconstructing Jewish Life in Metro Detroit” on their website. Congregation T’chiyah has since posted our organizational mission, vision and values statements on their website as well. We are gratified by this wonderful example of alignment between the central organization of the Reconstructionist movement and an affiliate.
