“Our lives are made richer and more meaningful when we belong to something larger than ourselves. Our Rabbis intended for Jews to learn, pray, celebrate, mourn, and grow together. We can’t and shouldn’t have to go through life alone. You are an important part of our community, and we hope that you will commit to building and growing JCP by joining as a member today.”
— Rabbi Deena Silverstone,
Rabbi and Director of Jewish Life
