Tri-Valley Cultural Jews (TVCJ) will hold Secular Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), observances on Saturday, September 14 from 2 - 5 p.m.  at the Bothwell Center, 2466 8th St. between I and G near downtown Livermore.  The program consists of non-religious readings in English and music, followed byparticipatory workshops and a non-religious memorial ceremony.  Suggested donation is  $10 per adult for those who are not members of TVCJ.  (No charge for children.) There will also be an opportunity to make charitable contributions to various international, national and local agencies. We are also collecting canned and boxed goods for the food bank.




Tri-Valley Cultural Jews serves those whose Jewish identity is based on culture, heritage and family, rather than on religion.  The organization sponsors holiday and sabbath celebrations, educational and cultural activities, and a Jewish Culture School leading to a Secular Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Non-traditional families and intermarried households are welcome.  TVCJ is an affiliate of the Congress of Secular Jewish Organizations.
