And of course, we added our own colorful touch--making rainbow pizza together and singing songs that celebrate community and pride.

At Jewish Culture School, we bring Jewish culture and history to life! See what we're cooking up next!

We connected these stories to enduring Jewish values: standing up for justice, welcoming people who are different from us, and helping to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place.

Rosh Hashanah – Monday, September 22
Begin the New Year with a potluck dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by a meaningful program of music and readings at 7:30 PM that reflect on renewal, hope, and community.

Kol Nidre (Yom Kippur Eve) – Wednesday, October 1 at 7:00 PM
Join us for an evening of reflection and connection, with music and readings that honor the spirit of Yom Kippur through a cultural and secular lens.

These events are open to all—families, interfaith households, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone seeking a thoughtful, non-theistic way to engage with Jewish heritage. While not centered on children, both gatherings are family-friendly with quiet activities available.

A suggested donation of $25 per non-member adult helps support our programs, but everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to contribute.
