Only the Jews

Only the Jews spend a whole week creatively cooking and eating a rotation of matza, eggs, and potatoes.

Only the Jews sing songs of freedom and gratitude even as dozens of our hostages are still held in captivity — and I say "dozens" because we don’t even know how many, because their captors can’t even tell us who’s alive and who, sadly, is no longer with us.

Only the Jews turn around three days after Passover to cook for Shabbat, because Shabbat comes every week, come what may.

Only the Jews celebrate Passover while worriedly keeping an eye on the news coming out of UCLA, Columbia, and other “elite” institutions, where anti-Israel students are occupying public property and disallowing Jews from entering.

Only the Jews bring a Chabad bus on campus to combat hate with singing and dancing.

Only the Jews invite their fitness instructor and her boyfriend to the Seder — because they’re Jewish!

Only the Jews keep booking flights to Israel even while United keeps canceling them.

Only the Jews all around the world pray for Israel, for people they’ve never met. Because they’re our family.

Only the Jews turn around and hug each other after yizkor on the holidays. Because if you’re part of the yizkor club, you know.

Only the Jews walk through a public anti-Israel protest blowing a huge shofar.

Only the Jews continue to remain wildly optimistic about our future despite all the hate.

Only the Jews sing Am Yisrael Chai at literally any opportunity.

Only the Jews are still here after thousands of years of persecution, forced assimilation, mandatory conversion, and dispersion.

Only the Jews.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Loud and proud.

No matter what.

Am Yisrael Chai.

Shabbat shalom,

Ruchi

Our doors are open to all who seek to worship, learn and serve the community.

Services at  Jewish Family Experience are a learning experience.  During the service members of the Minyan are encouraged to raise their hand if they have a question regarding the structure of the service, the meaning of a prayer, the interpretation of the Torah portion or a comment regarding the practice of Judaism.

Our goal is to broaden the understanding of Judaism.  And through better understanding establish each individual’s relationship with G-d.  Join us to experience our interactive service.  Come learn with us.


Sponsor a Kiddush
The Kiddush following JFX Shabbat Morning Experience is a great way to socialize, catch up with old friends, meet new members, guests and be part of JFX's vibrant community. Sponsoring a Kiddush is a beautiful and meaningful way to pay tribute to a loved one, celebrate a simcha such as bar/bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, graduations and remembering the Yahrzeit of a family member. Share stories, laugh, be inspired and be part of fostering a strong sense of community at JFX.

We have three levels of Kiddush sponsorship. These costs are based on normal Shabbat attendance.

Standard Kiddush: $500
Includes: Includes kugel, chulent, herring, chips, dips, cake, drinks and fruit.

Deluxe Kiddush: $750
Includes all of the above plus cold cuts and lettuce salad.

Gala Kiddush: $1,000
Includes all of the above plus chicken fingers.
