Newsletter & Resources

York County Jewish
Community Newsletter

There is a lot of Jewish activity going on in York County, and the York County Jewish Community newsletter, published two times per year, keeps you abreast of it. From regular features, such as Cantor’s Corner, to special articles related to upcoming or recently passed holidays, synagogue news and events, community announcements, Jewish topics in the media, and modern interpretations of pertinent religious texts from our more scholarly members, as well as interviews with key members of the congregation, personal reflections, and so much more, the YCJC Newsletter will keep you up-to-date, educated, and entertained. Current and archived issues are available on the web. If you are currently receiving the newsletter in print and would like to “go green” to save trees and reduce costs, please email us to let us know.

Resources

Whether you’re wondering where you can buy kosher meat, what time to light Shabbat candles, where the closest mikvah is, or even just where to get a decent bagel, visit our Resources page, and we’ll point you in the right direction. In addition to community resources, we also provide links to transliterated prayers as well as to some of our community’s favorite recipes. Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Send us an email, and we’ll do our best to help.
