Congregation Rodef Shalom

About

Rodef Shalom has a culture of Engagement, Friendship and Support for our collective Jewish Journey.

Where every member counts and every voice is heard.

Story

Rodef Shalom is a Conservative synagogue of about 300
families located in Southeast Denver, in the heart of
Denver’s Jewish community. Our members represent a
cross-section of the population, from our founding
senior members and older Denver residents, to
families with children of all ages, single parents and their
families, singles and couples with diverse experiences and
backgrounds, and many young people seeking connection
to the Jewish community. We are proud to be the
oldest Conservative congregations in Denver.

Our name, Rodef Shalom, which means “pursuit of
peace” speaks to a dream of a religious community where
Jews of different ages, demographic categories, sexes --
all people -- can come together. In that spirit, we
welcome you to worship with us, and it is our hope that you will return
often.

Mission

Congregation Rodef Shalom, a participatory and egalitarian conservative synagogue, envisions itself as an extended Jewish Mishpucha (family) caring for all its members. Our sages teach us that Judaism is sustained by three things, by Torah (study), by Avodah (worship), and by Gimilut Chasedeem (acts of loving kindness). The Rodef Shalom family follows this teaching by serving the spiritual, educational, and social needs of its members and by so doing promotes the highest ideals of Conservative Judaism.
