About Our
Community
Minyan Shaleym is an independent,
traditional-egalitarian, lay-led, and multi-generational congregation
that meets every Shabbat morning, as well as for Jewish holidays, life
cycle events, and other communal activities.
As a community, Minyan Shaleym is committed to the
observance of shabbat, holidays, and kashrut.
We are
fully respectful of the broad spectrum of observance among our members,
and we welcome all Jews regardless of level of knowledge or religious
practice.
Membership
Membership
in Minyan
Shaleym is open to all Jews regardless of ability to pay dues.
Benefits of membership include the opportunity to
hold
your life cycle events at the Minyan, the right to vote at Minyan
meetings, and access to the Minyan membership list and the members-only

Study
We are a community that
is committed to the Jewish value of Talmud Torah, providing
opportunities for individuals and for the community at large to further
their Jewish knowledge. We do this by providing classes in Torah
reading and davening skills, organizing study groups, and bringing in
speakers to teach and discuss issues of importance to us as a
community.
Tzedakah
Minyan Shaleym is committed to the Jewish
tradition of tzedakah.
We
donate 10 percent of our annual income to charitable
organizations as decided by our tzedakah committee. We participate on
an ongoing basis in Family Table, a local Jewish community project to
provide food to needy Jewish families in the Greater Boston area. Learn
