Welcome to the second episode of the JCPodcast! Every few weeks, in lieu of a written D’var Torah, Rabbi Deena and Rabbi Jacob will share a brief discussion about an interesting and relevant Jewish topic. This week, in honor of Thanksgiving, we’re talking about Jewish practices that help us cultivate and express our gratitude. Listen to the podcast here and check out the animated version on our Youtube channel!
If you’re looking to give back during this season of gratitude, we hope you will join us to volunteer. Check out our community service opportunities here!
We hope that you and your loved ones had a meaningful Thanksgiving. We’re so grateful for our JCP community.
Shabbat shalom,
Deena & Jacob
Join your JCP friends for a spectacular night at the theater to see GIANT on Broadway.
GIANT is a tense, acclaimed Broadway drama starring John Lithgow as children’s author Roald Dahl. Set in 1983, it follows a high-stakes, real-life weekend where Dahl must decide whether to apologize for a virulent, antisemitic article or risk his reputation. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, the play explores themes of bigotry and artistic legacy.

Join us for a meaningful evening of learning and engagement with Rabbi Deena and Rabbi Josh as we mark Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut. Together, we’ll explore the profound transition from remembrance to celebration, and what these days ask of us as individuals and as a community. Come for thoughtful conversation, connection, and a deeper understanding of this powerful moment in the Jewish calendar.
All Adult learning classes will join together that evening for this meaningful session, and it is also open to the wider community.
