Our World Needs Repair - We Need Your Help
The tikkun olam committee is starting a long-overdue conversation and action about white privilege, racism and racial equity, and justice. We'd love to have you join us at today's meeting. RSVP to Amy Wenger or Lynne Gedanken for more information.
What's happening? This year, so different in so many ways, is no different in one: there are lots of things going on at the Olam Chesed Education Center.

Staying connected
We need to stay connected more than ever. While our building is closed, we’re available to you and all JCOGS programming will be virtual until further notice. We’ve increased our offerings, and we hope you’ll invite people in need of connection to join you as you log on. Links to programs will be in the weekly email, on Facebook, and on our website. Children's program links will be emailed to parents and accessible on the website by logged in members only. Contact jcogs@jcogs.org if you have any technical difficulties. And go to our calendar to see this week's offerings!
