High Holidays 2022
Link to Schedule and Reminders
| |
Hoping to see you at the PJC for both days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur*! Click here for the schedule of all holiday services.
Service highlights to note:
-
Please note that this year Avinoam will deliver his annual "State of the State" talk on the Shabbat before Rosh HaShanah (9/24) rather than on Shabbat Shuvah. Avinoam will also lead our service on that day and introduce a few new melodies.
Send Holiday Honey Gram Treat Bag Greetings to PJC Members
Share the joy and sweetness of the new year by sending a goody-bag with apples, honey and other tasty treats to PJC families (a FUNdraiser)!
Scroll of Remembrance: Honor your loved ones who have passed away in the Scroll of Remembrance used for the Yizkor service on Yom Kippur and throughout the year.
Do you want a Lulav and Etrog for Sukkot? Please email the office. The cost is $85 per set.
For any questions or to volunteer to help, please reach out to
Marjut Herzog or Melainie Williams.
*We want everyone looking for a break-fast after Yom Kippur to have a place to go. If you would like to be hosted or if you would like to host, please contact the office.

Elul @ the PJC -- September 21 | |
The Jewish month immediately preceding the High Holidays is traditionally a time of reflection, renewal, and return. Join us on three Wednesday nights in Elul as we begin this sacred work. With an eye towards bringing the transformative power of teshuvah (repentance) more fully into our own lives, we will have an opportunity to sing, write, reflect, and check in with one another as we navigate our twisting and interlocking paths towards a new year.
The last of the Elul events is this week, Wed. 9/21, 7:30pm @ the PJC w/ R. Resnick and Ba’al Tefilah Jack Klebanow

Our library is open.
Coming Soon: Date TBA
Raid our shelves so
we can make room for new books!
New books can be found on the mantle. To check out a book, find the pocket with a card in the back. Write your name and the date you borrowed the book. Leave the card in one of the blue bins.
Please return all borrowed books to one of the two blue bins provided -- one in the library by the large windowsill, the other on the guest desk in the main office. This will enable the librarians to keep books in circulation and keep track of who is borrowing our books. Do not shelve returned books.
Thank you for your cooperation. -- Barbara & Liz
