JCM IS THE BEST COMMUNITY EVER!!! I am so grateful for all the support as we make these tough decisions. Although we can't be together as we had anticipated and hoped, the emails/calls/texts of appreciation for making smart and safe choices just warms my heart. I just feel so proud to be part of JCM, an organization that puts community first and is willing to so easily pivot to Zoom as needed. We also just erected a large events tent over the blacktop from now through Chanukah (JCM has the most generous members). We are fully expecting that we will be able to plan outdoor events coming up fast!
Any changes and additions will be posted on the website calendar. Monday, Sept. 6 Zoom only 5:45pm Singing with Cynthia and Bonnie 6:00pm Erev Rosh Hashanah service, led by Rabbi Nechama See below for more opportunities to participate!
