Our Chavurot bring together smaller groups of congregants who share common interests—families within our larger family—that come together regularly to explore Jewish and non-Jewish interests, form friendships, and, of course, eat! In addition to our standing committees, we have a vibrant Women’s Group, a dynamic Men’s Club (which serves the world's best latkes on Hanukkah), several book clubs , and a JRC softball team which plays in an inter-faith league. We encourage you to serve on a committee, join a club, or play on a team -- it is a great way to get to know other members, be active and have fun. We also extend a warm welcome to couples where only one spouse is Jewish; approximately one-third of our members fall into this category and are comfortably involved in temple life.

Judea Reform Congregation offers a variety of activities for our community members. From family holiday celebrations and picnics to bike rides, craft fairs, and Havdalah under the stars, we provide our youth and our families with the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore the world from a Jewish perspective. And because informal Jewish education is important in establishing a Jewish identity, morality and sense of community, the synagogue has programming specifically designed for children of all ages, from birth through college.

Gan Shabbat, weekly playgroups, and larger synagogue events bring together our families with young children.  We  have a number of activities throughout the year designed for youth of all ages like scavenger hunts, bowling trips and community-service themed programs. We have an active and growing NFTY (National Federation of Temple Youth) chapter for eighth through twelfth graders. All our youth groups encourage a love of Judaism, foster friendships among the youth and endeavor to have a great time!

College Contact Program

If you have a son or daughter who is a college undergraduate student, you’ll want their name on the College Contact list so they can receive High Holy Day greetings and Purim care packages. Sometimes a bit of home makes all the difference to our children living on their own for the first time! To add your child, please contact Kate Flanagan.
