The LJCC is a lay-led and pluralistic community located in the heart of Lawrence, KS. As a non-denominational shul, we seek to be a home to all the Jews of Lawrence as well as their Jewish-adjacent loved ones. Ours is a community defined by egalitarianism and inclusivity. We achieve this inclusivity through respecting the variety of ways in which people live their Jewishness. We welcome those who wish to join us in that spirit of inclusivity and in our effort to lead more connected and meaningful lives through learning, worship, celebration and the collective pursuit of tikkun olam.

    The Magic Eye: Healing, Spirit, and Community: A reading and discussion with Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg (Hybrid)
    Sunday, Nov 16th 4:00p to 5:30p
    The Magic Eye: A Story of Saving a Life & a Place in the Age of Anxiety focuses on the healing power of place and community in unfolding Caryn’s journey through a rare and dangerous eye cancer intertwined with Ken and Caryn finding a way to save the family land where they live after 35 years of effort. This memoir speaks to being part of an eco-community, human community, and especially the Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation, which Caryn will read and speak about, highlighting how her story, like many of ours, is also a spiritual excursion into finding new ways to see the world and belong to a community.
