Hebrew Educational Alliance, a member synagogue of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, is a synagogue community dedicated to the belief that Jewish tradition has the power to infuse our lives with meaning and purpose. Though we are one of the largest egalitarian-traditional Conservative Jewish congregations in the region, we pride ourselves on our small congregation warmth. Our congregation is vibrant, active, eager to learn, and truly represents Jewish life in Denver. We seek to provide our members with opportunities for Jewish study, prayer, culture, and acts of kindness in building our community.
We hope you’ll join us at the HEA!
Meet with Rabbi Gruenwald
"We have all missed out on chance encounters – shared experiences that bond people to one another and provide opportunities to connect, related, and even work out tensions. A simple gesture like getting together for coffee with someone you haven’t seen for a while has the power to restore relationships and community.” Rabbi Gruenwald used these words on Kol Nidre to embark on a listening campaign with the goal of having at least 180 coffee date s in 5782. Schedule your 45 minute coffee (or tea) with Rabbi Gruenwald to share your thoughts and hear his thoughts on everything from Israel to the future of HEA.
The Hebrew Educational Alliance practices the value of b’tzelem elohim, seeing humanity and dignity in all. We honor the unique and layered identities, and experiences each and every individual brings to our community. We endeavor to ensure everyone feels valued, respected and supported on their Jewish journey.
Congregation HEA opens its doors to anyone seeking a spiritual and communal home in an authentic and dynamic Jewish setting. We are a pluralistic and diverse community grounded by our commitment to Conservative Judaism. We are connected to one another and the synagogue through a shared observance of Jewish law and ritual.
We travel many different paths. We are one Alliance.
We are in this life together.
HEA’s community, services and offerings have expanded greatly since its inception in the 1920s, growing from a religious school to now being a central community connector for all Denver Jewish life.
