become more prevalent. As a social service agency,
it is our responsibility to reach out and address these
issues.
Recreational programs are designed to provide
leisure time opportunities to individuals, serving as
occupational diversions and providing immediate
kinds of satisfaction as well as meeting the socially
worthwhile goals of both the individual and group
participants.
The Jewish Community Center’s portfolio of pro
grams is unlimited. Whatever your needs are, we
believe we have the program. Our activities are
desij^ed and geared for all ages and members of the
family. Whether it is pre-school, children, youth,
singles, family, adult or older adult, the “J” is the
place to be. One overriding goal is to further our
members’ understanding of their Jewish heritage and
to deepen their Jewish identity. We accomplish this
by implementing the customs, folklore, dance and
song of Jewish people around the world.
The following is just a sample of what the JCC has
for you.
