MISSION STATEMENT
 The Falmouth Jewish Congregation on Cape Cod is a vibrant, Reform congregation affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). Our community represents a diverse, inclusive, participatory family where congregants from all backgrounds are welcomed with warmth and respect.
Our historic East End Meeting House (1797), given to the congregation by a local church, is an important symbol of the positive interfaith relations we enjoy in a predominantly non-Jewish community.
Our members represent varied traditions, practices, and beliefs. However, we are united in our dedication to providing a place that meets the needs of the Jewish community for worship, lifelong learning and charitable acts. Our experience is enriched by rabbinic and lay leadership as we pursue educational, social, spiritual, and religious programming to achieve a sense of kedusha--holiness--within our lives.
We fashion innovative interpretations of time-honored rituals to carry us into the future, looking to the riches of our tradition for inspiration.
We affirm these values:
TORAH: A commitment to Jewish learning in order to deepen our knowledge and observance of Judaism.
AVODAH: A devotion to Jewish worship, by creating varied opportunities for spiritual fulfillment.
GEMILUT CHASADIM: An active engagement in okug iueh, tikkun olam, the quest for greater justice, peace, acts of loving kindness, and social responsibility.

The FJC's 10th Annual January Program is devoted to the topic of the body in Judaism. Throughout the month we will explore the guidance that tradition, everyday practice, and contemporary perspectives offer for safeguarding our bodies and engaging our bodies in our Jewish identity and in doing Jewishly. Look for details in the January calendar and special events listings.
We inaugurate this annual congregational reading of a single title throughout the year with Tatiana de Rosnay's popular Holocaust novel Sarah's Key. Copies are available in the Righter Library. Discussions will take place at Yom HaShoah and during the summer of 2010. 
All money collected in the tzedakah box outside Speen Hall is currently being directed to Cape Cod Challengers Club, an organization providing sports and recreational opportunities for young people with physical and mental disability. Please give generously...and often!.jpg)
The Social Action section of our website will keep you informed of upcoming social action events in the life of our congregation, bring you action alerts, and point you in the direction of helpful resources as we strive to fulfill Judaism's mandate to engage in tikkun olam --the repair of a blemished world.
