that nurture a vibrant and enduring Jewish identity,
culture and community in the Mother Lode.
THE MOTHER LODE JEWISH COMMUNITY
YOUR JEWISH CONNECTION
IN CALIFORNIA'S GOLD COUNTRY
Serving
Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa
and Tuolumne Counties
About Our Events:
When…approximately monthly, often tied to a Jewish Holiday.
Where…hosted by local members or, for larger events, in a local gathering spot.
Given the large geographic span of our membership, we generally hold events along the Highway 4 corridor (Murphys/Angels Camp/Copperopolis/Bar XX and the Hwy 49/108 corridor in Sonora & Jamestown.
Cost…Most events are free, "Pot-Luck” affairs. There is a fee to attend our catered Passover Seder that helps offset the costs.
Who can attend...Members, their families & friends, Jews who live in the area full or part time or are touring the area as well as anyone else interested in participating in a Jewish gathering. Singles, couples and families are all welcome!
Dress...While we occasionally have a themed event where dressing for the occasion is encouraged, our events are generally “Mountain Casual”.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to live together in unity!" Psalm 133

Due to the continued Covid-19 situation and the fact that the Mother Lode Jewish Community has many members at high risk of complications from the infection, no in-person gatherings are scheduled for the remainder of 2021.
