For over fifty years, The Aquarian Minyan has been a pioneering model of Jewish Renewal. It was established with the goal to “renew the old and make holy the new” (Rav Kook). As an egalitarian community we believe that each of us can be a vehicle for the Light and that we all are holy teachers and holy students in different ways and at different times. By revitalizing prayer, rituals and teachings, we have endeavored to provide a spiritually alive Jewish home for souls to evolve and be nurtured. We welcome all to join us in celebration, learning and blessing.

Welcome to our new improved website; please note that is is still under construction. We’ll continue to add content and features.
