Welcome to Netivot Shalom. Netivot Shalom, "Paths of Peace," is a Conservative congregation which was formed in the spring of 1989. Our service is traditional and egalitarian. It is traditional in that the majority of the service is conducted in Hebrew, and the order and symmetry adhere to established observance; it is egalitarian in that both men and women participate and equally accept mitzvot (responsibilities and honors).
