What do financial contributions to CJC go towards?

Financial contributions are essential to sustain and grow our thriving CJC. If each member unit contributed $1,200 – 1,500/year, CJC would become financially sustainable for now and for years to come. 

  

The costs of operating CJC include support for: our wonderful Rabbi, holiday celebrations, Jewish learning, social action initiatives, and other efforts to strengthen the Jewish community on our beautiful coast. 

 

We recognize that each person’s and family’s ability to contribute financially is different and can change over time. We ask that you give as best you can to ensure the heart of our community thrives to support a diverse, welcoming connection to Jewish life on the Coastside. If your financial situation changes or you have any need to discuss your dues, email our Bookkeeper, Rachael Gershenson.
