Jewish Center Of Teaneck

What Jewish Center Of Teaneck does

The Jewish Center of Teaneck is an independent, nonprofit synagogue (community organization) serving the Jewish community of Teaneck, New Jersey. Its mission centers on five values: chessed (acts of kindness), Torah study, tefillah (prayer), devotion to the Land of Israel, and constructive engagement with broader society. Its core service offering is the daily and Shabbat prayer cycle (davening — Shacharit, Mincha/Maariv) supported by an adult education program that includes Rabbi Fridman's recorded shiurim across multiple Torah subjects (Daf Yomi, Talmud, Halacha, Parshah, Rambam, Ramban, Pirkei Avot, and others), youth programming, Sisterhood and Men's Club activities, and a Welcoming Committee that drives member acquisition. It also stewards a Czech Memorial Torah scroll acquired through the Memorial Scrolls Trust.

The organization operates from a single physical location in Teaneck and is led by Rabbi Fridman with a small staff of 8 employees supplemented by member volunteers. Its technology stack is intentionally narrow: the public-facing website (jcot.org) is built and operated on the ShulCloud synagogue management platform (currently v8.1), which provides online membership, donation processing, calendar and zmanim (prayer-time) scheduling, event registration, and email communications. The organization does not develop or resell technology products; it consumes ShulCloud as a third-party platform on a "Them to Us" basis.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual membership dues paid by families and individuals, voluntary donations from members and community supporters, and transactional fees from facility rentals (space rental for community events and private functions). Membership fees and donation amounts are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is purely direct/physical: weekly Shabbat services, daily minyanim, holiday observances, and lifecycle events (weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, funerals) take place at the synagogue itself. Marketing is conducted through the website, an email list (sign-up via [email protected]), photo galleries showcasing community life, and community referrals driven by the Welcoming Committee.
