A grassroots initiative for celebrating Jewish togetherness in the Temecula Valley.
In 2022, a group of families came together with a shared goal: to make the Temecula Valley and surrounding areas more inclusive and welcoming for anyone seeking connection to Jewish life. What began as Jewish Together Temecula Valley grew from a simple idea — creating a space where Jews of all backgrounds, affiliations, and family structures could gather, celebrate, and build meaningful relationships.
Today, we are JTTV365, a name that reflects our commitment to cultivating a vibrant and inclusive Jewish community 365 days a year. Rooted in tradition and open to all, we bring people together through celebration, education, culture, and shared values, creating connections that span generations. Whether you’re exploring your Jewish identity, looking for community, or simply seeking a place to belong, JTTV365 is here to welcome you.
