Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the JCOR email group from the website, then choose one of the six congregations in the shul directory to visit..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
JCOR is a network rather than one group, so a first step is choosing a congregation from the directory on the page. Shiurim (Torah classes) are offered across the congregations and by the kollel, and the email group announces them along with events and job and housing postings. The site lists no visit times, so check with the congregation you pick before you go.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the weekly eruv status before Shabbat, since the site shares it through the email group.
