Corporate Teshuva: This year we saw a somewhat new side of corporate America as companies like Wells Fargo and Facebook presented us with polished apologies embedded in wide-spread ad campaigns. In the midst of our season of teshuva (repentance) we might ask; can a corporation authentically participate in this type of inter-personal and spiritual practice?
Holiday themed activities for 2nd-6th graders
Stay tuned for GJC's annual Oscar Bregman Memorial Yom Kippur Program!
Chii-gong, similar to Yoga, is an energy movement practice. With gentle movements and breathing meditations, we clear stress, calm our minds, and gently energize our bodies. It is embodied prayer. Give yourself the gift and come nurture yourself as well as receive an energy boost to prepare for the final hours of Yom Kippur.
Babysitting and supervised play for toddlers and kids up to 1st grade. GJC’s childcare on the High Holidays is provided by teachers in our ECP program and assisted by our teen babysitters.
This member-led traditional egalitarian minyan puts an emphasis on a complete traditional prayer service. During the High Holidays, the minyan meets in the Marcus Auditorium, and all roles in the service are coordinated and filled by members.
Supervised play and activities before services for 2nd-6th graders – Camp Yom Tov will be staffed by teen madrechim (counsellors).

During the High Holidays, the minyan meets in the Temin Canteen Room, and all roles in the service are coordinated and filled by members.
