Congregation Sons of Abraham offers a full range of  activities for the Jewish community, in addition to Shabbat worship services. Our religious school serves students from preschoolers to teenagers, our adult education offers several engaging courses throughout the year, and our social action committee engages our members in activities that benefit the surrounding community.
