The Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation (SLJC) is an established reform congregation that meets at the Sun Lakes Chapel on the second Friday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Services are a great opportunity to meet new people, connect with Judaism and learn. New attendees are invited to be introduced at the service and members of the congregation connect with these attendees. Oneg Shabbats are held immediately after the service at Sun Lakes Country Club. Everyone is invited to attend. The Onegs are a great place to meet members, ask questions and learn more about our congregation.

We had one last opportunity to welcome Reverend Jim O’Neal to our pulpit. The congregation wished him well in his retirement. We thanked the Sun Lakes United Methodist Church for their friendship all these years. Reverend O’Neal spoke of the importance of motherhood. The Rabbi presented a crystal plaque to Reverend O’Neal for his friendship over the years. Reverend O’Neal presented gifts to the women in the congregation in recognition of motherhood.

The next Sabbath service will be held on June 12 at the Sun Lakes Chapel. It is the annual healing service. All are invited to the service and the Oneg after the service.
