At Congregation Jewish Community North something sacred happens every moment. Join us and make more than a life-choice, make your choice for life.
At CJCN you and your family are welcomed into our larger family of caring and sharing.
When disaster strikes or crisis invades your family, the community, and the world, your CJCN family is there for you.
CJCN cares about your soul and your personal quest, helping you answer questions like: "Who am I?" "Where do I belong?' "How can I change the world?" But also questions like: "Who are we?" "How can we serve one another?" "How can our actions brighten our world?"
CJCN is a place for you to atone, to bring yourself "at-one" with God while glorifying the heavens and bringing God's presence closer to us, to Jews around the world, and to all peoples of the earth.
Something sacred is happening right now at CJCN and you can be an important part of making it happen. But perhaps you have doubts ...
All of our summer programs will be centered on a different theme that will include crafts, cooking, games, and some form of Jewish content. There will also be some sort of water activity each day.

The Torah: Portion-by-Portion by Rabbi Seymour Rossel
368 pages, paperback
Torah Aura Productions http://www.torahaura.com/
Learning the highways and byways of the Torah has never been so enjoyable and so intriguing. The Torah: Portion-by-Portion brings together the fruits of the last 250 years of modern Bible study and the best of traditional commentary.
Each chapter, covering a single portion of the Torah as read in the synagogue, features a wealth resources, including selections of Torah text in gender-sensitive translation; “Quotes to Remember” in Hebrew and English; a synopsis of the traditional Haftarah and the reason this prophetic reading was paired with the portion; interactive topical discussion questions; graphs, charts, maps, and photographs that illuminate archaeological finds and biblical criticism; wide-ranging comments from Talmud, Midrash, Rashi, and other traditional commentators—set side-by-side with comments from modern Bible scholars including Cassuto, Leibowitz, Peli, Bamberger, Plaut, and Friedman; and evidence from archaeology, linguistics, Egyptology, Assyriology, and a dozen other sciences that have been applied to the study of Torah over the last two-and-a-half centuries.
With The Torah: Portion-by-Portion liberal Jews—Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist—have immediate access to an interactive way of studying the Torah. The book can be read from cover to cover, or used as a resource in preparing talks about a particular Torah portion. As an introduction to Torah study, it bridges the gap between Bible stories and commentaries by scholars like Plaut, Sarna, and Tigay.
