About Us

From the celebration of new life to the saying of Kaddish, Congregation Ner Tamid is your spiritual family for honoring life cycle events as well as the Jewish Holy Days. Rabbi Akselrad, Cantor Hutchings, our members and our staff assist in the preparation and celebration of Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Confirmations, weddings, brit and baby namings and sitting shiva. During the year, you will enjoy participating in our ritual services, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Chanukah, Passover, Purim and other events which honor and celebrate the history of our people.

CNT is a diverse community that embraces Reform Judaism’s willingness to introduce innovation while preserving tradition, to accept diversity while asserting commonality and to affirm beliefs without rejecting those who doubt.

The mission of Congregation Ner Tamid is to provide meaningful religious services, life-long Jewish learning opportunities, cultural programs and social activities in order to perpetuate and advance Reform Judaism.
