As a non-denominational synagogue, Sixth & I offers a variety of Shabbat services and imaginative holiday celebrations. A dynamic group of rabbis - representing all Jewish denominations - lead services, teach classes, and interact with the community. Sixth & I recognizes that being Jewish looks and feels different for many Jews, and we honor this diversity by casting a wide net in our unique Jewish programming and religious services.
