Celebrating Together

The JCA brings people together for major Jewish holidays and festivals, offering opportunities to mark sacred times with meaning and joy. From High Holiday experiences to festive Passover seders, Purim parties, Hanukkah celebrations, and community Shabbat dinners, we create moments of belonging that honor tradition and welcome all.

Learning & Growing

Lifelong learning is at the heart of Jewish life. At the JCA, you’ll find classes, lectures, and discussion groups that open up Jewish texts, history, and thought, while also exploring how Jewish wisdom speaks to contemporary life. We invite everyone—from those with deep knowledge to those just beginning their exploration—to learn together in an open and inclusive spirit.

Community & Connection

Jewish life thrives in community. The JCA offers ways for people at every stage of life to connect with peers, build friendships, and share in Jewish experiences. Jewish life is also celebrated through music, film, literature, and the arts. The JCA presents cultural programs and special events that highlight Jewish creativity and storytelling, inviting the wider community to engage with Jewish perspectives and voices.

Living Our Values

Jewish life at the JCA extends beyond ritual and celebration into acts of service, justice, and care for one another. Through volunteer opportunities and partnerships, we put Jewish values into practice, working to make our community and world more compassionate and just.

There's something for everyone! At the JCA, you will find a variety of programs and special events. All are welcome. People of all cultures, faiths, genders, ages, and sexual orientations are welcome at Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine programs.
