SJC Havdalah
We had a wonderful Havdalah get-together Saturday evening 7/22. Our program was short, sweet, and informative. Snacks were served, and we discussed all types of things, settling on the geographic history of the Ashkenazi Jews. Eye-opening and revelatory! Hope more folks can come next time!

SJC at the Fremont Fair!
SJC had a booth at the Fremont Fair this year! Here we see Jerid and Jeff, and Seth was there too. We talked to many interested folks about what secular Humanistic Judaism is all about. Thanks to all who showed up to say Hi!
Happy Summer!
We said goodbye to another successful year at Shalom Sunday School, and another year of secular humanistic Jewish holidays and events. Summer is right around the corner, and it looks like it's going to be a warm one.
The SJC steering committee is busy planning for next year. If you have an interest in helping to plan, we urge you to consider taking a leadership role in this organization. We need folks to help with: outreach; digital marketing; committee leadership and organization; and most importantly, general SJC leadership.
If interested, please email us at info@secularjewishcircle.org.
Coming soon: info about a summer picnic. Stay tuned!
