Our Programs
The key to success for all of our programs is to come together in both small and large groups and build our community through common interests. We accomplish this by providing a variety of program choices.
Education Programs
These programs provide learning opportunities with various thematic content including history, philosophy, film, music, and the arts. We also participate in Asheville’s annual Jewish Film Festival and provide a venue for discussion following each film.
| RABBI CHALOM, At the JSCA'S Scholar in Residence Program in May of 2019 Rabbi Adam Chalom, the U.S. Dean of the International Institute of Secular Humanistic Judaism which trains rabbis, leaders and educators spent the weekend teaching our members and guests about the roots and evolution of humanistic judaism. The weekend was entitled "Tradition and Freedom". On Friday night, Rabbi Chalom lead a humanistic Shabbat Service and on Saturday and Sunday our members and guests learned about the importance of words, literature and song in our services and practices. He also met with the JSCA leadership on Sunday afternoon to explore ways to help our organization continue to thrive in Western North Carolina. |  |
Social Programs
Social programs are organized into two groups.
- Special Interest Groups may meet only once to explore a topic or learn a skill. They are often led by a JSCA member volunteer with a particular skill or parcel of knowledge to share.
- Social Groups meet regularly. These groups include the Singles Group, the Book Club, the Women’s Discussion group, and groups engaged in various games such as Canasta and Bridge.

Topics already discussed include "Womens' Friendships", "What's So Great About Getting Older", and "How Judgemental Are You?". We meet twice a month at the homes of our members.
