LearnMount Zion provides learning opportunities for both young and old alike. In both informal and formal settings, study is the cornerstone of our experience. Our religious school, adult learning program called MaZAL, and the resources of our library offer a variety of options. In addition, there are numerous informal learning opportunities for our young people in the Temple.

PrayOur Temple is a warm and inclusive place. We welcome you to join us in worship, either as part of one of our daily services, Shabbat services or during the Holy Days and Festivals. During the Shabbat worship service, the combination of the liturgy and sermons, together with music and choirs, allows our congregation refreshment and learning. We welcome you to join us.
