Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound SJC supports a non-theistic approach to Jewish identity and culture.

The Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound (SJC) has been a vibrant, independent, and diverse community since 1994. At SJC, Judaism thrives through holiday celebrations, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs ceremonies, a culture-based Sunday school for children, book club, dinners, outdoor family events, and social action. Our intergenerational community includes Jewish individuals and couples, children, interfaith and multi-cultural families, and members of the LGBT community.

"This is a time of transition. We move from our everyday week to the experience of Shabbat. We turn from the concerns of the outside world and become quiet and peaceful. We, at this moment, in this time, pause and take note as we begin Shabbat. May this Sabbath be a time of peace and rejuvenation." — Rabbi Miriam Jerris
