'24-'25 LC Calendar

This coming spring the World Zionist Congress is holding elections, which are of profound significance to Jews everywhere. Like many Conservative shuls around the world, at the PJC we are coordinating our campaign with Mercaz, which is the the movement affiliated party at the WZO. A vote for Mercaz ensures that the Jewish values that animate our lives at the PJC and beyond will be represented at the Congress.

This week, Kiddush is being sponsored by

Maria Abeshouse.

Thank you to the PJC community for all of their love and support for my family.

We Need You!

With school winter break running from December 20-January 6, we expect that many people will be away - which means Shabbat attendance will be low. If you will be in town, please make an effort to attend Shabbat services on January 3-4. It’s a joy to celebrate Shabbat together. Hope to see you there.

We will also need help with Kiddush in terms of sponsors and for set up and clean up. Let us know if you can lend a hand. You will be doing a mitzvah, a great way to start the year! Contact Kathy for more information.

Hanukkah Celebration

Please register for our Hanukkah Celebration on Jan 1, 2025 from 3:00 - 5:00pm.

We will be celebrating the last night of Hanukkah with candle lighting, games, face painting by Kristen Whalen, crafts, sufganiyot, latkes, gelt, dreidel and more. We look forward to seeing you there!

Reach out to Emily Pauley at holidays@thepjc.org with any questions or concerns.

The PJC Book Group will discuss Ayelet Tsabari's, The Best Place on Earth on Monday, Jan 13th at 8:00pm on Zoom.

This collection of short stories is written from the perspective of Israelis of Middle Eastern descent. The Best Place on Earth interweaves stories of discrimination, loss, displacement, sex, death and religion. The voice is intimate and compelling. Tsabari writes with incredible compassion and a light touch.
