MAKOM KADOSH
Makom Kadosh means “holy place” or “sacred space” in Hebrew. Temenos, our rustic and beautiful meeting place since October 2010, means “sacred space” in Greek. Come co-create sacred space with us!
Spiritually engaging, inclusive, questioning, creative and casual, the JFCC is a community where adult seekers and learners take ownership of their Jewish growth and evolving identity, and where families experience Judaism together.
Welcoming and affirming, and supporting the full participation of singles and families of all kinds—interfaith, single parent, GLBT, Jews of color, spiritual seekers wanting a taste of Judaism.
SHAVUOT
Tuesday night June 3 at 7:30pm

Recalling the time of revelation, we ask:
WHAT IS YOUR TORAH?
An evening of sharing
The ancient tradition of tikkun l’eyl Shavuot, of all night learning in community, provides an opportunity to learn from many different people in many different styles–didactic, song, chant, silence, meditation, dialogue, yoga…
WHAT IS YOUR PASSION? WHAT IS YOUR TORAH?
We have a great line-up of diverse teachings….
We won’t be staying up all night, promise! And homemade cheesecakes!
EMAIL thejfcc@gmail.com if you want to teach. 15 minutes maximum please, so everyone gets a chance.
