Jewish Congregation (CJC) is a progressive congregation, affiliated with
the Reconstructionist movement. We are a multi-generational, diverse
congregation of members whose emphasis on Judaism as a civilization as
well as a religion involves us in the study of Jewish beliefs, teachings,
values, ethics, history, tradition, prayer, art, and music. Our
song-filled services engender a spirit of camaraderie that carries over
into our many communal celebrations and social activities. CJC has a long
history of commitment to Tikkun Olam and Tzedakah, values that we cherish
and strive to pass on to our children

To encapsulate the true role of humanity in the ongoing evolution and spiritualization of the cosmos. Our great task involves helping God by freeing and reuniting the scattered Light, raising the sparks back to Divinity and restoring the broken world.
There are things whose fruits a person eats in this world while the capital remains for [him or her] in the world to come: honoring one’s parents, the practice of loving-kindness, hospitality to strangers, and making peace between a person and [one’s] neighbor. And the study of Torah surpasses them all. Babylonian Talmud
