Here is a picture of Cantor Rick Berlin, the Spiritual Leader of our congregation. Cantor Rick has been here since July, 2003. His dedication to Judaism and to Parkway Jewish Center are strengths from which we all benefit, are uplifted and can take comfort. Cantor Rick is married to Mary and they have two wonderful daughters and three fantastic grandchildren.

We will add other pictures here!

A Special Message to all who are thinking about joining us here at PJC:

Hi --

I am Cantor Rick Berlin, the Spiritual Leader of Parkway Jewish Center. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

PJC is a small, unaffiliated conservative synagogue. We are fully egalitarian, with women and men serving on the board (including as officers) and all members being recognized for all Bimah honors. Our Religious School provides personalized Jewish education for all of our children -- last you we had nine students from ages 7 - 14 in our school.

Because we are small, we offer advantages that larger "B'nai Mitzvah Mills" cannot. We help each child learn to the best of their ability. I myself teach each and every B'nai Mitzvah student. Many previous students now read Torah regularly, and often repeat their Haftorah on an annual basis. We can count on many of them to conduct services, and most our of graduates -- even if they have moved away -- remain involved in Jewish life. In a similar manner,

... and more pictures here, too!



our Adult Education Programs are designed with input from congregants so they will be relevant to their interests and needs. Members can easily become involved to the fullest extent that they desire in assuring that the Congregation meets their needs now and in the future.
Please take a look at our webpage to learn more about us. Or better yet, come to a Friday Night or Saturday morning service.

Our Office Administrator can send you more information about us or a membership packet for you to review. As the home of Dues You Choose, membership at PJC is affordable to families and individuals at all levels. The members of our congregation look forward to meeting your and your children and, if you see fit, we hope that you all will become part of our family at PJC. The date of our next special event service -- our Friday Night Fusion -- will be posted on other pages of this website. Perhaps we will see you then!

If you have any other questions, pleased feel free to email me.

Regards,

Cantor Rick

Feel free to come by and meet us!
