Ashreynu is a pluralistic kehilah founded by Rabbi Jonathan Pearl, drawing from Ashkenazi and Sephardi, Diaspora and Israeli, traditional and nontraditional Jewish modalities.

Ashreynu gathers on Shabbat, Chagim, and other occasions to learn, interpret, engage with, and live our Jewish heritage. We experience music, art, culture, and religious expressions of our people.

Ashreynu offers educational, cultural, and spiritual opportunities for Jews of all ages and backgrounds to elevate and enhance their daily and Jewish lives.
