Membership Dues, High Holiday seats

Rosh HaShannah starts next Friday evening, 9/15/23.  If you have not paid your synagogue dues and/or bought your Holiday ticket, come into the office and you can pick up your ticket.  You can purchase tickets and pay dues online.

Fight Anti-Semitism

VCJC was sent a large number of Blue Square pins from Stand Up To Jewish Hate, an organization under The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, started by Robert K. Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. Its purpose is to make the world aware of and help wipe out anti-Semitism. Wearing the pin will show that you support stopping the spread of anti-Semitism.
