And boy, do we have programs! Watching the work of the JCC is like watching a water wheel ~ always in motion; always churning out new programs, events and ideas.

The variety of programs offered strives to meet an array of interests throughout the community. Take a look at the numbers to get a better idea of who we are and what we do.

For more information on JCC programs, please contact Jane Hochstein, JCC Director at (937) 401-1545 or jhochstein@jfgd.net.
The JCC means to me that Jewish culture, in its many forms, continues to shine brightly in Dayton.

The good news is temperatures are finally in a much more acceptable range, and the snow is slowly melting. If you are ready to get out of the house, the JCC has two events coming up that may be of...

(Re)Building the Bridge
Cathy Gardner

Since 1970, February has also been known as Black History Month. It serves as a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history, while also recognizing their struggles for acceptance and equality. Sadly, the Black community still experiences prejudice to this very day. As Jewish people, we too have experienced our own struggles with acceptance and equality. It was not too long ago that Jewish people were banned from living in certain communities or belonging to certain clubs. The latter was even a part of the storyline of S3, EP15 of The Golden Girls. The episode,...
