Help shape the Circle for 5786 (2025-2026)!

Every year, following our final holiday event of the Jewish year, SJC leadership gathers for its annual wrap-up and planning meeting, and you're invited! We want to hear from YOU!

SJC is a 100% volunteer-run, donation-funded cultural organization, so we don't exist, grow or change without you. We invite existing community members to attend this meeting with current leadership so you can share your feedback/insights about the last year, and your ideas for the upcoming year.

Note: If this would be your first event with us, we ask that you instead attend one of our holiday or social events first. (We recommend our fall Meet & Greet picnic!) If you have feedback and ideas you'd like to share with us for discussion at the meeting, you can submit them here.

Itinerary:

• Review and update our organization's Mission and Vision statements.
• Review and update our organization's Bylaws.
• Review and finalize draft schedules for next year's SJC events and MSSS classes.

Requests from retreat host:

• This event is restricted to the existing SJC community. If this would be your first event with us, we're glad you're so excited! But we encourage you to instead join us for a holiday or social event first!
