Come to events
  • All our events are listed on the calendar!
  • Regular events: Fourth Friday Kabbalat Shabbat, Second Saturday Shabbat services, at the JCC and online.
Fourth Friday Help
  • Fourth Fridays at the JCC are our largest regular community gatherings, for prayer, discussion, eating, socializing and just plain participating in community. We need your help to set up and clean up. Rabbi AJ Heschel taught us to “pray with our feet,” and we can pray with our hands, too (dishwashing can be meaningful!).
Mitzvah Corps
  • The Mitzvah Corps provides the opportunity for members to participate in Tikkun Olam within our community. The Corps organizes support for member families and individuals experiencing life-cycle and emergency needs.
  • Contact the Mitzvah Corps chair for more information or to volunteer.
Beit Sefer Committee
  • Our Beit Sefer committee helps guide the school’s curriculum and supports its activities.
  • Contact the Board about joining.
Food, Land & Justice
  • To get involved in our Food, Land, & Justice activities, contact Idelle Hammond-Sass.
Book Group
  • Once a month, AARC’s book group gathers at someone’s home to discuss a novel, story, or work of non-fiction.
  • For information about the book group, click here or  here.
  • For upcoming book group meetings, see the calendar.
Membership Committee
  • This committee helps prospective and new members get integrated into our community.
  • Contact the membership chair about joining the committee.
Welcomer
  • When new members join us, we try to link them with one or two longer-standing members, to help them integrate.
  • Contact the membership chair about being a welcomer.
