A huge congratulations to our 2022 Bar Mitzvah celebrants, and a sad farewell to our beloved Education Director Rhianon!

Izzy Doliov and Brian Skiena finished their Shalom Sunday School studies on June 5, and have upcoming Bar Mitzvahs this summer. Congratulations Izzy and Brian! And a big congratulations to all our students for finishing the year -- and enormous thanks to our incredible teachers!

And we had to say good-bye to Rhianon, who has been our hard-working Education Director for many years. She has sadly taken a job on the island of Maui. Imagine, choosing Hawai'i over us! Word is she has successfully made the move. 

A great turnout for our 2022 Passover seder!

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this event happen, the board, and mostly our valuable guests. A huge thanks to Jeff Triestman for putting together a meaningful hagaddah, one that reflects the views of Secular Humanism and the Secular Jewish Circle, and for leading the seder.

I hope folks who couldn't make it can come to our next event!

Tu B'Shevat Hike 

Sunday January 16th, 10:30 AM. We had a very nice hour-long hike through Carkeek Park in celebration of the Jewish Birthday of Trees. After a short spiel on SJC and the Tu B'Shevat Holiday, we talked about some local organizations that help us be more eco-conscious. Some are listed below. More info on the event here.

• TerraCycle
• Ridwell
• Mimi's Zero Waste Market
• Dish Soap
• Toothpaste
• Bamboo Toilet Paper

The health and safety of our community members is our primary concern. We will be requiring proof of vaccination for all in-person activities. Everyone 5 and older must be fully vaccinated¹ by February 20. You may show your vaccine card, a photo of your vaccine card, or use the myIR.com tool, sanctioned by the WA state Department of Public Health.                                                                       1. Full vaccination is two weeks past a fully completed vaccination regimen.

Virtual Shabbats

Thank you to everyone who has joined our virtual events. As restrictions ease, we will begin planning some more in-person events.

Social Media

Our Facebook Page and Facebook Group (for members) are still open and we encourage you to share and connect.

We hope to see you at our virtual events, where our community will continue to thrive during this challenging time. We will be updating this space as we return to limited in-person events.
