• NEVEI KODESH CONGREGATION: AN AFFILIATE OF ALEPH. ROOTED. RELEVANT. RENEWAL We’re Nevei Kodesh Congregation, an affiliate of ALEPH: The Alliance for Jewish Renewal. We’re also allied with the National Havurah Committee, and ADAMAH, the progressive environmental partnership of Jewish organizations across the U.S. Based in Champaign-Urbana, we worship in a joyful, not staid style, and enjoy the neo-Hasidic nusach, niggunum, and songs of the Carlebach movement, and other, contemporary Jewish music. To us, God is an active verb, not just a proper noun, and belief in Him requires engagement in the world, tikkun olam, to make our culture, and planet, a better place.. Come as you are! Join us for weekly worship, whether you believe in God in a literal, ontological way, or take an allegorical approach to the mystery of the divinity. We also welcome interfaith couples and families (Jewish/Christian), and are the spiritual home to Jews who were raised in denominations as diverse as Orthodoxy, Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal, independent minyan, and even Messianic. We’re all created in the image of God/Adonai/Elohim, who communicates with us through the small, still voice of individual conscience, and through an active, ongoing, mystical, spiritual presence. Seekers can also study Torah, Talmud, and even Israeli poetry, at our cultural, pluralistic Yeshiva, online, at Facebook.com. We’re partnering with leading Jewish non-profits to provide Talmidum (students) with access to custom study materials.
