The United Jewish Congregation of Hong Kong (UJC) was

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
"Talmud Torah Ki Neged Kulam: The study of Torah
is equal to all of the commandments for it leads to all of them!"

THE STORY OF THE JEWS, VOL. 2
Join us for our community reading of the second volume of Simon
Schama's The Story of the Jews. In this continuation
of his Jewish history series, Schama will take us from 1492
to 1900 - from the aftermath of the expulsion of the Jews of
Spain to the beginning of modernity. Anyone who read the first
volume of The Story of Jews with us two years ago can tell you
that Schama has an extraordinary journey planned for us, one
that will take us all the way to Shavuot.
