Our Ideology

Kehillat Darchei Noam is based on the values of inclusiveness and equality, and the idea that every human being of every age, gender,socio-cultural background and personality should be welcomed for his or her own vital contribution to make to the religious life of the community.

The community seeks to maximize women's participation in the services, including leading the worship, teaching the community and holding key lay leadership positions, while consistently searching for avenues within the halakha to advance women’s roles even further. Specifically, women participate in the services by leading Kabbalat Shabbat, Psukei D'zimra, taking out and returning the Torah to the Ark, reading Torah and haftarot, giving D'vrei Torah, and leading certain other prayers (e.g. Hallel Katan, Avinu Malkenu during the High Holidays, etc.).
