Community
is an evolving congregation of approximately eighty
member families, spiritually guided by our Maggid (spiritual
leader) Jhos Singer, and Sheli'ach Tzibur (service leader),
Julie Batz.
To be better
informed about our membership, we conducted a survey
in 2005. The data can now be viewed by interested members.

CJC is an inclusive community of people from a wide
range of Jewish and other backgrounds. In keeping with
the style and spirit of the Coastside, we offer programs
accessible to all.
Our
liturgy, music and ritual practice draws deeply from
Judaism's rich spiritual heritage, while infusing tradition
with new meaning.
As a volunteer-led
non-profit organization, we need your involvement and
encourage lay leadership. Contact President Carrie

Ruach
Havurah
The Ruach Havurah at CJC is for people who would
like to learn, explore and celebrate the spiritual
aspects of their Judaism. Ruach Havurah gatherings
may include prayer, meditation, spiritual direction,
rituals, celebration and learning. Our gatherings
are experiential in nature, and our goals are to deepen
our spirituality, learn more about Jewish spirituality,
and to cultivate a deeper sense of connection to each
other. We are a peer-led group open to any interested
adults, and we usually meet on the afternoon of the
4th Shabbat of each month from 1-4 PM at the Montara
home of Nancy Margulies and Gary Warhaftig.

Kol ha’kavod (shout-out) to the twenty-four members
of CJC who participated in the Member meeting June
4 and to the 42 members who have participated in at
least one va’ad meeting since they were begun 15 months
ago. With this much involvement (over half the membership!)
we demonstrate to each other and ourselves that we
are a strong, vibrant and caring community.

Types
of Services |

*
Kabbalat Shabbat
A bi-monthly Friday evening service includes traditional prayer,
music and contemplation. Services followed by an Oneg providing
an opportunity to meet new people and mingle with old friends.
Children are very welcome. The service is structured
to be easy for everyone to participate, and many approaches
to prayer are used, such as story telling, dramatic play,
traditional liturgical song, and chanting.
*
High Holy Day Services-
One of the cornerstones of our faith, High Holy Days are a
time to “make tshuvah”, to examine our lives, make amends
with those we have wronged and return to our true values.
CJC conducts full High Holy Day services for Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur. Living
on the coast has also inspired us to observe the beautiful
ritual of “Tashlich”, or “casting our sins into the sea”.
Our CJC tradition includes a trip to the beach for
this service, followed by a potluck lunch. This
is a wonderful way to begin the New Year.
*
Jewish Holiday Celebrations include Chanukah, Purim, Sukkot, Simchat Torah,
and an annual Passover Seder. |
