“I really like the exciting and mentally stimulating conversation we have every week.”

“Seeing a child from the Preschool, the posters and flyers for Jewish events, and knowing the APJCC is guided by Jewish values all feels natural to me.”

“I meet so many people and there are so many different programs – I can’t keep up with all of them.”

“I want my kids to know about their Jewish identity, heritage and culture – to accept it and to be proud of it!”

“The JCC is a Jewish identity growth center — a living and continuous ‘J Camp,’ — where just showing up increases your sense of being Jewish.”

“It is great to make friends with the parents and other grandparents at these Preschool events – people you greet and hug when you see them elsewhere around APJCC.”

“APJCC Preschool teachers view parents as their partners.”

“This JCC has shown that they prioritize families and have created a special space for us.”

“Yavneh curriculum is amazing, always advancing and growing. Looking at the 8th grade class every year reminds me of the great confidence and leadership that results.”

“It brings me tears of joy to know that there are kind strangers out there willing to put a smile on my son’s face during this period of financial hardship.”

“I think what we find, as volunteers, is when we give a little of ourselves, we get so much back in return.”

“By taking programs like Jewbilee online, we break down barriers in the Jewish world.”
