Welcome to CTJ!

This year, Congregation Tikvat Jacob is celebrating an incredible milestone - our 100th anniversary! As we celebrate and reflect on this momentous occasion, we're dedicating much of the upcoming year to our Centennial celebrations, events that we are excited to share together as a community.

As 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 night with Rabbi Kalev and a “Bark Mitzvah” service for your pups, both coming in August. And families with kids, be sure to join Rachel Hershman at Manhattan Bagel for the "We’ve Missed You" OEC Brunch on Sunday, August 24th 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!
