From the first time you walk in the door at CKI, you will be warmly greeted. Our members come from a variety of Jewish traditions and backgrounds, and we welcome all people who are part of a Jewish family, including interfaith families. Our close-knit and friendly community is a caring and supportive spiritual family for all of our members: young and old, individuals, couples, and families, newcomers and longstanding members.
Please come visit and attend any of our Shabbat services or upcoming events! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about CKI.
CKI serves the Jewish community in and around Somerset, Middlesex, and Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey.
