100 Years of Resilience

The thrill of observing our Centennial High Holy Day Season with you is truly cause for celebration. Beginning in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles, CTJ has been home to the Jewish Community since 1925. We look forward to continuing our long standing tradition of providing our Jewish Community with meaningful experiences that transform our souls and deepen our lives, as we begin our second century of service. Carrying on this tradition with you, we continue to call CTJ our home away from home through 100 Years of Resilience.

The High Holy Days begin on the evening of Wednesday, October 2nd. We invite you to help us celebrate CTJ’s tremendous milestone as we focus on our tradition of resilience and strength as a vibrant community going forward. Truly a Shehecheyanu Moment - thank YOU for allowing us to reach this moment. Let’s begin this celebration together!
