Israel Trip

NSJC is planning a trip to Israel. Information and a survey to gauge people's interest will be sent out soon.

Please pay your membership dues if you haven't already.

We invite you to help grow our community by encouraging unaffiliated family and friends to connect with NSJC. To support this, we are offering a “Gift of the Heart” certificate, which provides a complimentary one-year membership for someone you choose. This includes membership to NSJC, the Sisterhood, and the Men’s Club, plus High Holiday tickets, all without dues. In the following year, recipients receive a 50% discount on their dues. This initiative helps NSJC remain a vibrant center of Judaism. If you know someone who would benefit, please print, complete, and present the certificate to them. For questions, contact me at vpmembership@nsjc.org.

Social Action Committee

I am so thankful to those congregants that remember to bring in non-perishable food items for our pantry. Our shelves have been filling up. Good news is that I may soon be able to move these items into a better location for storage after it is collected in the pail in the coat room.

Please keep your eyes and ears open about a congregation-wide Social Action Event that is planned for the Fall. Your participation will make this exciting endeavor successful!

Toda raba! Shalom!
