We joyfully welcome our role in enhancing these gifts today and for future generations.

Welcoming all • ‫ • הכנסת אורחים‬Hachnasat Or’chim Our house is open wide to all. We embrace the diversity of culture, opinion, religion and identity in our community, and we strive to make the Center an accessible space where it feels safe to be oneself.

Our community of family and friends • ‫ • קהילה ומשפחה‬Kehilla u’Mishpacha We are a hub for engagement, dialogue, collaboration and the celebrations that enrich our lives and community in which we live. We also foster K’lal Yisrael, the unity of the Jewish people, by strengthening our link to the broader Jewish community and the State of Israel.

Wholeness of body, mind and spirit • ‫ • שלמות‬Shleimut We respect and nurture each individual’s journey toward wholeness and see our role as a catalyst for wellness, exploration, reflection and growth.

Repairing the world • ‫ • תקון עולם‬Tikkun Olam Each person makes a difference. Together we are responsible for making our community a place where we uphold dignity for all and seek to improve the world through our actions.

The mission of the Peninsula Jewish Community Center is to build a caring and connected community, develop leadership and strengthen Jewish identity and values in a center with an environment that is welcoming to all people at every stage of life.
