Something for Everyone: Find Your Connection

Something for Everyone: Find Your Connection

Here at Jewish Dayton, we strive to live our mission every day – caring for those in need, strengthening Jewish life, and creating connections among Jews- acting locally, in Israel, and around the world. CONNECTION is truly important during the cold winter months, and we hope you will join us at one of our many programs- we have a way to connect for everyone!

In January, we hosted a PJ Library star gazing event in partnership with Chabad for our young families. Families enjoyed Tu BiShvat crafts and activities, delicious treats, and awe-inspiring star gazing with the Miami Valley Astronomical Society. For more information on PJ Library enrollment and events, please contact Kate Elder at kelder@jfgd.net.

We also hosted a fun game night for our Boomers Group.  We enjoyed games, drinks and nosh, and music. Sharing laughs was just what everyone needed! We would love to connect with you and have you join us for future events! For more information about the Boomer Group, please contact Stacy Emoff at semoff@jfdgd.net for more information.

Upcoming Briefing ~ Israel & the United States at War with Iran
Cathy Gardner

When I awoke on Saturday morning, I immediately saw on the news that Israel and the U.S. had launched an attack on Iran.

Hopefully, many of you received our email notification with that information and were able to take part in the briefing. While normally we are able to share recordings from JFNA, they requested the recording of Sunday’s briefing not be posted or shared publicly....

Cabin Fever Relief
Cathy Gardner

It’s hard to believe that in just five weeks, Spring will officially be here. The weather over the past month has been, well, let’s just say, interesting. I’m a big fan of snow, but I know I’m probably an exception to the rule. Between the snow and bitter cold temperatures, I’m sure cabin fever has set in for some people. 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,...
