The Downtown Synagogue envisions itself as a broadly inclusive institution, one in which anyone may discover Judaism in a safe and welcoming environment. It offers a place in which all can openly observe and reflect upon their role as Jews, historically and in contemporary society, and provides a hub for collective action in support of the Jewish community as well as the general community of greater Detroit.
The principal mission of the Downtown Synagogue is to serve as a beacon for the Jewish community of Metropolitan Detroit by maintaining a synagogue in Detroit; by acting as a conduit for Jewish activity in the city; by offering a wide range of programming that will support the revitalization of the city; and by ensuring accessibility to all.The Downtown Synagogue envisions itself as a broadly inclusive institution, one in which anyone may discover Judaism in a safe and welcoming environment.
