Congregation B'nai Emunah serves a diverse community of people who approach their Judaism in radically different ways. Some are attracted to the serious social activism of the congregation, and see their Judaism as a tool in the rebuilding of a broken world. Some immerse themselves in the study of classic texts in small-group learning with other adults. Many appreciate the joyful musical program of the congregation. As one of the oldest Jewish institutions in Oklahoma, B'nai Emunah is a self-confident religious center committed to constant experimentation. What a newcomer is likely to notice first is the sense of forward movement. That, and a prevailing pattern of warmth, generosity, and inclusiveness. There is no preoccupation with governance or policy-making, but rather a pattern of holistic acceptance. We welcome individuals and families in the process of defining a Jewish style that brings meaning, richness, and joy. Interfaith families and Jews by Choice are essential parts of the community and we're eager to offer welcome and home. There is a conscious commitment to making newcomers feel affirmed and valued. We are a progressive congregation and see ourselves in the midst of continuing self-renewal.
