The Quilt

 

From September 2000 through October 2002 six women from the Jewish Community of the Palouse created a special quilt, reflecting our heritage, to be hung and used as a focal point at our ceremonies and celebrations. Please click here or on the image of the quilt to learn more about it and the people who created this work of art.

 


 


Friday Night Services and Potlucks -

About once a month during the academic school year, we hold a Friday Night Potluck and Shabbat Service at the Koinonia House next to the Washington State University Bookstore.  Everything is informal and family-oriented.  The potluck begins at 6:30 PM and Services begin around 7:30 PM.  The Services are led by members of the community and last less than one hour. 
 
For the potluck, the JCP provides napkins, plates, forks, spoons, cups, beverages and ceremonial wine. Please bring a serving utensil and label your dishes if they contain peanuts, other nuts, strawberries, meat, fish, seafood, etc. As usual, students are not requested or required to bring food. We generally have enough, and we purchase pizza as a back-up.
 
Schedule for Friday Night Services
 
In addition, we conduct High Holiday Services, including an Evening Service for the First Day of Rosh Hashanah, a Day Service for the First Day of Rosh Hashanah, an Evening Service for Yom Kippur, a Day Service for Yom Kippur, and a Concluding Service for Yom Kippur. High Holiday Services will be at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 420 E Second St. in Moscow
 
Although we do not have religious services for other holidays, we generally organize community celebrations for Sukkot, Chanukah, Purim and Passover.

Who We Are

 

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.
