CTJ Membership - New Members 2024-25

Welcome to CTJ!

Congregation Tikvat Jacob is approaching an incredible milestone - our 100th anniversary! As we prepare to celebrate and reflect on this momentous occasion, we're dedicating the coming year to the "100 Years of Resilience" that have sustained our vibrant community.

But before we commemorate a century of Jewish life, let's soak up the summer together! We have an exciting lineup of warm weather programs planned, from Beach Shabbat services to Coffee with the Clergy. Plus, an incredible movie series with Rabbi Kalev, coming in August. And families with kids, be sure to join Rachel Hershman at Manhattan Bagel for the "Welcome Back OEC Brunch" on Sunday, August 11th as we kick off the new school year.

As summer fades, don't miss beloved CTJ traditions like challah baking with Rabbi Kalev and our inspirational High Holy Day services. We'll share more details soon.

Submitting your first-year membership now allows us to plan robustly for this extraordinary 100th year. Our community's participation and support over the decades has made our community a source of strength, resilience, and joy. Here's to 100 more years!
