​Welcome to the Jewish Community of Japan
ברוכים הבאים לקהילה היהודית ביפן
日本ユダヤ教団へようこそ


                                     Dear Members and Guests of the JCJ

                  “The preservation of health is a  mitzvah which                                                        overrides all other mitzvot.” 

We are in the midst of a global pandemic which requires caution and responsible action.  Social distancing has been suggested as one of the best ways to prevent the quick spread of the virus. During the pandemic we have reduced the activities at the JCJ. We are holding on-line services for Shabbat and the High Holy Days.
​Please contact the JCJ office for further details.


Stay Healthy,  
David Semaya, President  
Rabbi Andrew Scheer
