October 15, 2018 - Mark Your Calendars!  Our first-of-the-year Kabbalat Shabbat Service will take place on the evening of Friday, October 19 at 5:30 p.m. at a private home in Murphys. We will begin with a 'dairy/vegetarian/parve' potluck dinner followed by a service around 7:00 p.m. 

On Sunday, October 21, we will host our first Jewish Learning Workshop, led by Rabbi Andra Greenwald, in which we will explore facets of our evening and morning prayers.  This is the first of a series of three such classes, with the other two to take place in November and in February.  Each class will be meaningful if attended separately, however, the long-term goal is that this would be the beginning journey for those interested in becoming bar/bat mitzvah.  This class will be held at a private meeting hall in Columbia from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.  Refreshments will be served.

The activity calendar on the MLJC website (MotherLodeJewishCommunity.org) includes an up-to-date list of scheduled gatherings, which take place primarily in the Murphys/Copperopolis and Jamestown/Sonora/Columbia areas.

These gatherings are open at no charge to non-members who wish to participate in the Jewish Community.

The MLJC’s mission is to provide opportunities and events that nurture a vibrant and enduring Jewish identity, culture and community in the Mother Lode, drawing members from Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa counties.  New members and guests are always welcome.  Please call 209-533-1650 to learn more.
