So What’s New!

SHORASHIM

Dear Parents,

I am very much looking forward to working with Shorashim next year. In fact, we have already begun preparing for next year.

You should have already received your Shorashim registration forms for 2009/2010. Please complete the forms and send/fax them to the UJC office as soon as possible, preferably before you leave for your summer holidays. Receiving your registration early helps us organize classes, teachers and materials, and better prepare for next year. If you have not yet received your registration forms, if you would like to register a new student in Shorashim, or if you have any questions, please contact the UJC office.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer.

See you this fall in Shorashim!

Rabbi Martha

The United Jewish Congregation of Hong Kong (UJC) was founded in 1988 by long term residents of Hong Kong, Robert Green and Charles Monat. Their objective for the UJC was "to advocate the cause of Reform, Liberal, Conservative, and other non-Orthodox Jews in Hong Kong" and to encourage their participation in Jewish life to the fullest. We are a warm, welcoming, vibrant congregation, with adults and children actively engaged in all aspects of the community.

CONGREGATIONAL PROFILE

The Jewish community in Hong Kong is extremely diverse, reflecting many traditions from around the world. While UJC members come mainly from North America, we are also thoroughly international, including members from the Israel, Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and China. Although some congregants have lived in Hong Kong for decades, many are in Hong Kong for two to five years. Our membership is comprised mostly of business and professional people, journalists, teachers, and academics, and includes many families with school-age children, as well as many young professionals.

HISTORY

The UJC grew rapidly from a few dedicated people to become a large Jewish congregation in Hong Kong with about 200 family and single memberships. Since its inception, the UJC has been affiliated with the World Union for Progressive Judaism and is now a key congregation in the Union for Progressive Judaism. [… read more]
