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.

Your Connection to Community

Jewish programs at JCCs and Synagogues.

Social Action Committee

Thank you to all congregants who have continued to contribute to the pail that is in the coat room which is labelled "For the Rabbi's Tish!" Now that we have entered a new season, I am asking ALL of our congregation, "Please, do not forget about our pantry. There are still people within our own township who are struggling to put nutritious food on their tables!"  
We must continue to fulfill the mitzvah of feeding the hungry among us. Please purchase one non perishable food item to bring to the synagogue when you do your food shopping. At this time of year, a can of fruit is a very welcomed commodity; just a suggestion! However, any healthy packaged food item is truly appreciated!
Toda raba! Shalom!
