Lake Chapala Jewish Congregation began during the autumn of 2000. In September of that year, a group of 25 Jews met in a resident`s living room for the High Holy Days. Although there had been informal gatherings of local Jews for many years prior, that was our first service as a congregation. Since that time, LCJC has grown into an active, thriving Jewish center now housed in our own beautiful synagogue. Saturday Shabbat services are led by our Service Leader, David Rosett, in addition to Friday night Shabbat potluck services, and a host of religious observances and social activities.
