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
