Pacific Community of Cultural Jews

Our group welcomes anyone who is interested in or identifies with the Jewish people, whether they be Jewish or not. We try to provide a friendly, welcoming environment and special welcome events. Our electronic newsletter is free, our dues are extremely low compared to those of synagogues, and we offer scholarships to those in need. We send out an interest survey every year and try to plan various programs that will appeal to a wide variety of interests. We are always open to suggestions and urge everyone to make them and/or get involved. We have no building, so we hold our events all over Orange County, thus being accessible to people in disparate areas. We are in partnership with many organizations, besides the affiliates of our own two national organizations, and we participate in our area's local Jewish fairs. In order to advertise, we have booths at events, outside of our own and put ads in all manner of newspapers, web sites, and magazines.
