Shabbat is a cornerstone of Jewish continuity and a cornerstone of the Secular Jewish Circle calendar year. In addition to regular gatherings we have several special annual Shabbats.

As a way to bolster community, we are now holding potluck shabbats in members homes. We would like to encourage members to host these events for as few or as many people as you are comfortable. Please use the contact for to let us know if you are interested in hosting

If you are guest who would like to learn more about SJC, please contact us and we will help you find the next event open to non-members.
