"For
with You is the source of life;
in Your light we see light."
(Psalm 36:10)
Congregation M’kor Hayim ("Source of Life") is
a Reform Jewish congregation in Tucson, Arizona. As our mission statement declares, we are dedicated to building a spiritual,
religious, intellectual and social home based on Jewish values and practices.
Rabbi Helen Cohn is our spiritual leader. We partner with her to create a welcoming, inclusive community. Our intent is
to remain small, so that members of our community are personally known by our rabbi and by other members of the congregation.
We are pleased to have a close relationship with the First Congregational / UCC church whose space we use for worship and other activities. This relationship reflects interfaith cooperation at its finest.
The following blessing expresses our hopes for the congregation
and all the people it serves. The blessing was written by founding member Margo Levine:
May this
congregation welcome all who share our purpose, have ideas to express, and hopes to nurture.
May we gather in an atmosphere of support,
respect, and friendship.
May we be mindful of our goals and avoid the distractions of self.
May we be kind in our differences and humble
in our agreements.
May we be good and wise companions.
May this congregation foster an endeavor that leads to a richer and more meaningful Jewish life.
