Congregation Shalom Kansas City is traditional egalitarian — full traditional liturgy, full participation by all adults — and we are one of only a handful of such congregations between Chicago and Denver. Members drive in from both sides of the state line.

At about 230 households we are small enough that most people know each other and large enough to sustain a daily minyan five mornings a week. Our building dates to 1961 and shows it, affectionately.
