Led by Rabbi Arthur Zuckerman, The Jewish Encounter is a nondenominational Jewish group dedicated to adhering to the laws of Hashem. “We are Zionists, educators and lay people striving to create a community. Education of Judaism, tikkun olam (repairing the world) and prayer is our basis,” says Rabbi Zuckerman. “We have a love for Judaism in the purest sense, a passion for being unique and independent, and a quest to be a place for both the learned Jews, and the Jews who are still on their journey, to find enlightenment. We also strive to enhance the bonds of friendship with our non-Jewish Zionists, and welcome those who come to learn of our faith.”

The group has created its own siddur (prayer book) using a combination of traditional and contemporary prayers.

There are no membership dues and no ticket costs, however all donations are accepted and are tax-deductible.
