Yiddish Club for everyone
The Yiddish Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month to discuss Yiddish music, culture, and classic literature. Members share insights, stories, and songs – celebrating a vibrant cultural heritage. Open to all, the club welcomes anyone interested in exploring the richness of the Yiddish tradition.
Seniors Club takes first trip of the year
The Seniors Club recently took a bus trip to the Portsmouth Jewish Museum and Cultural Center. The group had a smooth ride and was greeted by museum staff upon arrival for an informative tour. Housed in a former synagogue, the museum offered an interesting look at Jewish life and history in Portsmouth. Members viewed exhibits about local Jewish traditions, community life, and the building’s architecture, including its stained-glass windows.
Roundtable Conversations
A collaborative discussion group where all participants contribute equally, Roundtable Conversation is guided by facilitator Bob Low. Members share ideas, ask questions, and actively listen. This format encourages respectful dialogue, diverse perspectives, and deeper understanding, making it ideal for exploring complex topics in educational, professional, or community settings.
JCC Book Club
To celebrate Pride Month, the JCC Book Club selected Kissing Girls on Shabbat as its June book. The discussion was engaging and heartfelt, sparking meaningful conversations among participants.
Mah Jongg Mondays
Mah Jongg Mondays launched last month at the Simon Family JCC. Held on the second, third, fourth, and occasional fifth Mondays each month, games begin at 1 pm in the Fleischmann Lounge on the Sandler Family Campus. Used complete sets are gratefully accepted as donations.
