Struggling with addiction or questioning your relationship with substances? Already in recovery but feeling spiritually disconnected?

Join JACS’ Jewish Addiction Circle (JAC) for a safe, confidential, and judgement-free space to share your story and connect with others. JAC offers more than support—it’s a caring community that taps into Judaism’s spiritual resources for healing and transformation.

All are welcome and new participants are screened to ensure a secure, supportive environment. If you’re seeking a Jewish-informed space to discuss addiction and recovery, JAC is here for you. Join us bi-weekly on Mondays from 7:00-8:30pm.
