Welcome to our annual Mitzvah Challenge!

This is an opportunity to challenge yourself to commit to one mitzvah from now until Yom Kippur -- one small spiritual upgrade that will supercharge this time of year as we prepare for the High Holidays. We will culminate in a special kiddush at JFX on Shabbat, October 19, to celebrate our participants.

This year we will be dedicating our Mitzvah Challenge to the memories of the six hostages brutally murdered in Gaza: Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alex Lobanov, and Almog Sarusi and some of our mitzvah options will specifically reflect that.

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.
