It was created eight years ago by the merger of a Reform and Conservative congregation and many members still identify themselves strongly with one of those movements. Although the synagogue has chosen not to affiliate with any movement, the Reform prayer book is used on Friday night and the Conservative prayer book is used on Saturday morning and for the high holidays. The congregation is completely gender-egalitarian. The members of the congregation are well-educated, middle to upper-middle class and concentrated in the thirty-five to fifty-five age group. Most members are married and have children, though there is a small group of singles in their twenties and thirties and a few older people. An unusual number of congregants have strong Jewish backgrounds. At least thirty have gone to day schools or Yeshivot as children. Groups in the congregation There are four distinct groups in the congregation: 1. The Right wing - Most are day school or Y eshivah graduates.
