A HUB FOR SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

Spirituality

Whether through quiet reflection, communal celebration, or meaningful conversation, The Reutlinger honors the spiritual dimension of daily life. Our Jewish foundation creates a rich tapestry of tradition and learning, while our doors remain open to people of all faiths. 

A bright room with light wood walls, green upholstered chairs, a wooden table, a cabinet, and a colorful stained glass window with Jewish symbols creates an atmosphere of spirituality. An embroidered cloth with Hebrew designs rests on the floor.

Jewish Life & Worship

Our beautiful on-site synagogue serves as a gathering place where residents celebrate Shabbat and Jewish holidays together, either in person or via our Closed Circuit TV channel. Central to spiritual life is our part-time cantor, who upholds Jewish traditions and provides care and guidance to everyone in our community.

A small chapel with wooden walls, several tables and chairs, a podium, a piano, and stained glass windows with blue designs. The room is well-lit with both natural and artificial light.

All-Faith Support

We welcome visiting spiritual leaders of all faiths and have regular programming for non-Jewish residents.  In addition, we can arrange transportation to local services as needed. The Reutlinger goal is to ensure  everyone can nurture their spiritual life in the way that’s most meaningful to them.

At The Reutlinger, the Cantor is available to meet with residents, families and staff—offering comfort, leading study and discussion groups across all living areas, and providing spiritual support to them.

A display case at the Jewish Heritage Museum showcases traditional Jewish artifacts, textiles, menorahs, and a shofar—each reflecting spiritual practices and spirituality—arranged neatly on shelves under a well-lit wooden cabinet.

Jewish Heritage Museum

Hours: Sunday - Friday | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The Reutlinger Community is fortunate to have received a magnificent collection of Judaica from the Ruth and Max Eis Collection. This collection, displayed in three areas of the building, consists of objects gathered from various Jewish communities around the world. It includes Sabbath lamps from Germany, memorial lamps from North Africa, Chanukah lamps from Eastern Europe, pewter candelabra, ceramic Seder plates, Yemenite baskets, and many other religious and cultural artifacts. A committee of volunteers oversees the museum, and the exhibit changes several times a year.

In addition to the museum collection, three stained glass windows, rescued from Eastern European synagogues, are displayed above the front sitting area near one of the museum exhibits. There is also a lending library of framed art available for residents to hang in their apartments.

The Jewish Heritage Museum was recognized as an institutional member of the Council of American Jewish Museums in 2002.
