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.

And that is what the people who gathered at Bondi Beach were planning to do. Instead, two cowardly terrorists took the lives of 15 innocent people and injured many more ~ all for simply being Jewish. My heart has felt heavy in the subsequent days. It doesn’t matter that the...

A Memorable, Meaningful Conference
Cathy Gardner

Each year, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) brings together people from across the globe ~ including Jewish communal professionals, lay leaders, and philanthropists ~ for an incredible three-day conference. The General Assembly (GA) focuses on several themes and goals, which include exploring best practices, examining key challenges facing the Jewish community today, and promoting collaboration. This is one of my absolute favorite conferences to attend. I always return home feeling inspired and ready to put the ideas I learned at the conference into action. This year was no different. I, along with three of our staff members and three...
