Services
Kavvanah Minyan
Our Shabbat liturgy is a rich collection of religious poetry, of deep yearnings of the heart, of individual and communal hopes and dreams for this world. Experience the joy of Shabbat as we bring the siddur to life. Engage in deep self-reflection, meaningful prayer and uplifting song! Join Rabbi Alex in Gottlieb Auditorium for this 90-minute alternative wellness service every month and on the second day of Rosh Hashanah.

Yizkor Memorial Candles
JWell now offers numa candles — the first scented, aromatherapy-based, 100% vegan memorial candles. Hand-poured in New York and designed to burn for 24-28 hours, numa honors the longstanding tradition of lighting a candle for a full day in remembrance of a loved one, while bringing scent, design, and ritual together with intention.
Mikvah
Mikvah, the Jewish ritual bath, is a powerful and ancient tool for spiritual renewal and marking moments of transition. Cleveland is lucky to house the Charlotte Goldberg Community Mikvah, a beautiful, egalitarian mikvah in Cleveland Heights.

Yizkor Garden
Who are you remembering this Yizkor? Every year, JWell creates a memory garden for Yom Kippur – a place for stories and spirits to take root and blossom, allowing our loved ones to live on in our lives and in our community in new ways. We invite you to send in a picture and a memory or story of your loved one to populate our garden.
Submit your photos and stories HERE by September 13th.
