We
appreciate your interest in the Pine Brook Jewish
Center.
As the oldest synagogue in Morris County over a century old we understand that a strong Jewish Community requires a
congregation which is both Jewishly committed and educated. At the Pine Brook Jewish Center, we strive to do whatever we can do to meet the educational needs of our members. That means hiring gifted and energetic teachers, as well as offering creative and stimulating classes for all levels of learning and for all ages, from
"Mommy and Me" to adult education. In addition to a life-time of learning, Judaism requires us to engage in prayer throughout our lives. A Synagogue must provide opportunities to help enhance congregants' prayer experiences. At PBJC, we encourage congregants to make prayer part of their everyday lives, as well as invite both our teens and adults to read Torah, Haftorah, and lead parts of our regular services.
Jewish living requires its serious engagement in tzedakah. We are proud of the many
mitzvah projects that our synagogue takes on, as well as
its commitment to expand our ability for outreach in ways that engage our members for the betterment of the larger community. From within our own community, Shabbat plays a central role in shaping our identity and our approach to the world. Our services are participatory, and strive to engage both mind and spirit. On Shabbat our community comes together, we celebrate our friendships under the peaceful canopy of God's greatest gift to our people, Shabbat.
Our relationships, with God and community, guide every aspect of our synagogue. We draw strength from one another, in times of celebration and in times of sorrow. We help one another nurture our connections to the Divine.
PBJC is a community of caring individuals, each unique, and each created in the image of God.
