At the Falmouth Jewish Congregation (FJC), they’re more than just a congregation; they're a family. Under the leadership of Rabbi Elias Lieberman and Pamela Rothstein, our Director of Lifelong Learning, they've built a community that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and the richness of Jewish life.

The FJC roots trace back to 1981 when a small group of Jewish families sought a communal space for worship. This marked the beginning of our journey, which has been characterized by growth, community support, and interfaith cooperation. A pivotal moment in their history was the gift of the East End Meeting House from the East Congregational Religious Society in 1983, which they transformed into our synagogue, alongside the accompanying parsonage that now serves as our office and school.

The growth of the FJC congregation led to the construction of the Blanche & Joel D. Seifer Community Center, which has become the heart of their religious, educational, and social activities. The FJC commitment to providing a welcoming space for all is evident in their Goode Chapel and Meeting House, where we hold worship services throughout the year.

The FJC is also home to the Falmouth Jewish Cemetery, a serene and sacred space open to all Jews and their immediate families, established in 1995 as the first free-standing Jewish cemetery on Cape Cod.

With a membership now exceeding 300 households, our congregation is a vibrant blend of families, individuals, and associates from a variety of backgrounds. Interfaith and non-traditional families find a warm welcome and a sense of belonging within our community.

The FJC is a place of worship, celebration, learning, and action, united by a dedication to Jewish continuity and social justice. We invite you to join us, engage with our community, and make the FJC your spiritual home.
