Mitzvah Project
For her Bat Mitzvah project, Aviv Dar is creating 400 beautiful cards for JF&CS clients. Aviv's grandparents have cherished her handmade cards, so she wanted to share that same joy with Holocaust survivors and other isolated older adults in our community!
New Guide for Reporting Antisemitic Incidents
Anti-Defamation League New England (ADL) and CJP are pleased to announce a new collaboration which has resulted in the creation of an informative resource guide to effectively support our community members in reporting antisemitic or bias incidents.
Everyone has a role in confronting antisemitism and hate when they see or experience it. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to reporting, which is a very important action in standing up and speaking out about antisemitism and hate. By reporting, you are helping us monitor trends, improve communal security, direct resources where the needs are greatest, and advocate for funding to combat bias and bigotry in our communities. In addition to sharing this guide widely, please report incidents on this website.
Adult Education
Together and Apart: The Future of Jewish Peoplehood

Next meeting Jan. 24th, 7:30-9:00pm (Sun. 2x/month)
This class is thought-provoking, using video lectures and interviews, insightful texts, and lively discussions. Participants are encouraged to view videos before class. No need to worry about missing sessions— although we are betting you won’t want to. It’s easy to catch up by viewing the videos and/or reading the source materials at your convenience. For more information about this 14 session series, go here.
