Community

Our minyanim are warm, soulful, and rooted in traditional halacha. While our services follow Orthodox liturgy, the atmosphere is open, welcoming, and deeply community-oriented.

We use a non-intimidating mechitzah with equal space on both the men’s and women’s sides, creating a sense of balance, presence, and shared spiritual energy. Women are invited to lead parts of the tefillah that are halachically appropriate and frequently share words of Torah with the congregation.

Children are always welcome—whether they’re sitting with you, moving between spaces, or participating in our youth programming. If you’re new or visiting, we encourage you to introduce yourself. We’re always happy to help you find your place, follow along, and feel at home.

We are honored to walk alongside individuals who feel called to join the Jewish people.

Our community partners with Project Ruth, a halachic, Modern Orthodox conversion program rooted in compassion, authenticity, and meaningful learning. Those pursuing conversion are guided by Rabbi Leener and warmly embraced by our shul community throughout the journey.

At PHS, we strive to create a space where those exploring Judaism feel encouraged, seen, and supported—never pressured, but always genuinely welcomed.

If you’re considering conversion, or simply exploring what a Jewish life could look like, we’d be honored to speak with you.

Every journey begins with a conversation.
