Caring Committee
The Caring Committee reaches out to members in moments of need and special challenges. Members of the committee extend support through calls, visits, meals, or transportation. Unique challenges, such as during hurricane season and the COVID-19 pandemic are always addressed as needed. Reaching out to others is a mitzvah and honor.
If you are interested in participating on this committee, or if you or someone you know needs help, please contact the JCV office at office@thejcv.org.
Chavurot
A Chavurah brings people together who have like interests such as their home state, love of books, learning more about their religion, going out to dinner, talking about current events, etc. The JCV has several active groups who meet on a regular basis or at intervals that they determine. Each group has a person who is the coordinator, but not the decision-maker, as that task is shared by the participants in the Chavurah. Some groups have been in existence for years, and some have just begun.
If you have an interest in meeting other members of our congregation in small groups, please email us at membership@thejcv.org
Memorial Park
A Holocaust Memorial Garden, Memorial Park, and Columbarium are found on the JCV campus.
