Resolve to get to know ShulCloud
We invite you to take some time this January to get to know ShulCloud, the LJCC’s digital home. ShulCloud is a cloud-based software designed specifically for synagogues. ShulCloud helps the LJCC and its members do all sorts of things - like keep track of ritual timing and yahrzeits; learn about and register for events; make payments and connect with other members.

You likely already have a shulcloud member account even if you haven’t ever used it. This is because, we created an account for each one of our members when we adopted ShulCloud in 2021.

Start using shulcloud and all its great features
Visit LJCC.shulcloud.com and click on "Login" in the upper righthand corner of the website. A pull-down menu will appear. Enter your email address and password there.

If you don’t know your password, then click on “Forgot Password” and enter the email address associated with your account. A password reset will be sent to you.

If you don’t know what email address is associated with your member account, then phone Nixx at (785) 841-7636 (or email) and they’ll be glad to look up that information for you. Nixx is also eager to help walk you through ShulCloud and its use, so feel free to schedule an appointment to come in for a tutorial.

Once you access your ShulCloud member account, make sure that your profile is correct and complete. You can update your profile by clicking on "My Profile". 

When you are logged in to shulcloud, there’s a bunch of great stuff you can do such as using the member directory to look up other LJCC friends with whom you want to connect.

Everything in one place
All of our exciting programming and ritual services are listed in advance on our ShulCloud. We ask you to register for all events both to help us plan and for security purposes. To view upcoming events, go to https://LJCCshulcloud.com/events. Click on any event title for more details. If you are logged in, you’ll see that your account name is already input in the “Registering as” box. You can alter the name(s) therein (if necessary). You can also indicate the number of guests in your party. Any other important information can be input in the “Notes” section.

You can also view and add yahrzeits by clicking on "My Yahrzeits". If you wish to add a new yahrzeit, click on the "Add Yahrzeit button". 
 

New automated pledge forms
As part of this transition to electronic communications, we’ll be changing how we collect pledge forms. Come March, you’ll be invited to fill out your pledge form online via ShulCloud. Your pledge will be stored in ShulCloud and appear as a charge on your member account, allowing you to see what you’ve pledged and what you’ve paid.

This new practice will help us to save hours in staff labor. Of course, we are happy to make accommodations for those of you who don’t feel comfortable using this automated system and would rather fill out your pledge form the old-fashioned way. We’ll input the information for you.

Thanks for helping us make good use of this great website and for helping us spare some trees. Happy almost new year of the trees!
