The Jewish Community of the Palouse offers cultural, religious and
social activities for Jews living in Pullman, Moscow and the surrounding
areas of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho including Washington
State University and the University of Idaho. We are an unaffiliated
community that is open to all members of the Jewish faith. It
is our goal that Jews of all backgrounds, whether Orthodox, Conservative,
Reform or Reconstructionist, feel comfortable participating in our community.
Families of mixed marriages are also welcome and encouraged to participate.
Our activities include High Holiday services, Sukkot, Hannukah, and
Purim celebrations, Friday, and Saturday services, a Sunday evening
discussion group and a Sunday School program for children 5 to 12.
We have no Rabbi, so we depend on our members to help organize events, programs and lead services.
