All are welcome!

PJC is led by Rabbi Sheila Goloboy, drawing its membership from Port Washington and nearby towns. It has a thriving religious school and a wide range of religious, educational and social programs. In our nearly 40-year history, the underlying values that shaped our congregation have not changed. PJC continues to welcome all who wish to worship with its warm, informal atmosphere and to encourage active participation in the life of our community. Our mission is as it has always been: to lead a Jewish life, to observe and preserve Jewish ritual and custom, to give our children a Jewish education, and to show compassion through acts of Tzedakah and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness), both within the Jewish community and beyond.

  • Foster in our students a meaningful, life-long relationship with God.
  • Instill in each student the value of service to others.
  • Include families in their child’s Jewish learning.
  • Build a sense of belonging and love of the Jewish community; in our school, in our synagogue, in Israel and around the world.
