Welcome to JSCA We may be looking for each other... Are you seeking to be more in touch with your Jewish heritage in a comfortable, friendly setting with other thoughtful Jews to whom you can relate to on a spiritual, intellectual, and social level? The Jewish Secular Community of Asheville (JSCA) provides a warm, inclusive, secular, and humanistic environment in which to celebrate holidays, learn about our traditions and history, and to discuss current issues throughout the year. You are invited to be our guest at our monthly Shabbat services or at the next JSCA event and judge for yourself. |

7:00 PM First Friday of every month - canceled until further notice! Thanks to our Ritual Committee, we welcome the Sabbath with a warm hug, a place to connect with friends and make new ones, a place to sit quietly and safely, a place to meditate, a place to grieve and a place to celebrate life. After our Service we have an Oneg that provides us with an informal opportunity to visit with one another. We look forward to sharing thoughtful blessings and songs with our members. Location: Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, 801 Charlotte Highway, (74A), 1.5 miles south of the CVS/Ingles next to Cool Mountain Realty. Get Map and Directions [HERE]

Conducted by Rabbi Bob Barr from Congregation Beth Adam in Cincinnati, Ohio. Many of you may remember Rabbi Barr as our scholar in residence 5 years ago. www.bethadam.org at 6:00 PM on Fridays.
JSCA has been hard at work developing programs to sustain our members during this difficult time. We have added a service to pick up groceries and drugs for our highest risk members, started telephoning members who may feel isolated, posted in the members’ section of the website a list of regularly updated resources, and initiated a popular members’ online chatroom. Members who wish to visit or revisit these resources and programs need to log in to the Members’ Section. If you are not a current member, but you are interested in learning more about us, click through our website. Then send us an email (See a link below) and we’ll get back to you. At JSCA we are here for each other because we care for each other.

JSCA members have diverse interests and preferences and are constantly searching for enrichment opportunities. We are providing information about educational and cultural events sponsored by other non-profit organizations within the broader Jewish community so our members can pursue their personal interests.
