Presidents Message
Over our 80 year history, the FJCC has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of the Jewish
community of Flemington, Hunterdon County, and the surrounding region. From our humble
start serving the farmers and businessmen in a rural community, we have recently completed
construction of a spacious 24,000 square foot synagogue.

Our 225 member-families come from a diverse background. A few grew up in day schools and
yeshivot; others had little formal Jewish education. We welcome interfaith families into our
congregation, with non-Jewish spouses taking an active role in many of our programs and
events. I myself grew up in a large Reform congregation, as did some of our members.  We
consider ourselves a conservative congregation - traditional egalitarian is how we describe it -
though we remain unaffiliated with United Synagogue. Women participate fully in all aspects of
synagogue life, including leading services and reading Torah. Our rabbi of 19 years Evan Jaffe,
a graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary, is perhaps our best asset!

Our congregation has been described as one of "doers".  Our members are more interested in
getting the job done, than talking about it in committee meetings. As the most recent
example, our new building project was run entirely by volunteers, from committee chairs to our
construction manager, from fundraising to a group of members who ran miles of telecom and
audio cable. If you want a place where your efforts can immediately make a difference, the
FJCC is where you belong.

If you are looking for a religious education for your children, you cannot find a better place than
the Flemington Jewish Community Center. Each student is given the attention they need to
succeed. We have recently added a position of special needs coordinator, and our staff and
aides work individually to meet each student where they are. Unlike many synagogues, Rabbi
Jaffe personally tutors each Bar and Bat Mitzvah student. Most of our young adults continue
with Hebrew High school, through graduation. Graduates of the FJCC Hebrew School have
gone on to take leadership positions at college campuses around the country. We focus on
giving our children the synagogue skills they need not only to participate in services any where
they go, but to be called upon to lead them.

We work hard at understanding the needs and desires of our congregants, which is evident in
the vast number of programs and services we offer. An active Sisterhood, Seniors Club, and
Youth Group provide for different needs of our members. We offer an increasing schedule of
adult education classes, including Beginning Hebrew, leading services, and discussion of
texts. As a member of the Jewish Federation of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren, our
members take advantage of Jewish LIFE, a community-wide adult education consortium.

This is a place where you can expect a warm welcome, develop new friendships, and, if you
wish, become an active voice in your synagogue. It is a place where creative new ideas are
encouraged and supported. If you have any questions or issues that you wish to discuss,
please feel free to call Judy Gold-Feinberg, our Membership Committee Chairperson at
908-788-4649 or me at 908-284-2027. I look forward to getting to know you, and hope that your
will consider membership in the Flemington Jewish Community Center.
