CTI Mission 2024
CTI is a welcoming and growing congregation that strives to endorse unity within the Jewish community and beyond, by not only respecting but cherishing all backgrounds and religious perspectives.
We embrace the unique stories of congregants and their families.
We affirm our eternal connection with Israel, and support that goal through a variety of tours, speakers and volunteerism.
By providing a caring and welcoming community, we are obsessed with involving and inspiring new generations through an evolving series of meaningful, spiritual and fun programs.
We enthusiastically accept our mission as facilitators of Jewish continuity from existing to future generations.
