The JCC remains vigilant about safety. We are taking proactive steps that are both visible and not visible to community members out of an abundance of caution. This includes increasing the number of security guards (all of whom are former law enforcement officers) and liaising closely with our partners at NYPD. In addition, our Senior Director of Security, Sean O'Connor, is in close touch with federal, state, and local law enforcement at all levels. We are thankful to our community members for complying with our safety procedures.
This Week at the JCC
Centers of Excellence
The Selma and Lawrence Ruben Center for 20s + 30s
Young adults looking for a spiritual and social home on the Upper West Side can find it at the Selma and Lawrence Ruben Center for 20s + 30s. One-time events and ongoing seasonal programming offer an opportunity to connect with a warm and lively Jewish community for recreation, social and cultural events, outdoor activities, and Shabbat and other holiday observances.
The Lambert Center for Arts + Ideas
Creative arts programming at the JCC is a critical means by which our community understands and appreciates itself more deeply and truly. We use the unique voices and media of visual art, film, dance, theater, musical performance, and intellectual conversation to amplify and give new perspective to the most important questions we face as a community.
The Bert and Sandra Wasserman Center for Family Life
Children thrive, parents connect, and families grow together through experiences cultivated at the JCC. When a family joins us for prenatal programs, a baby swim class, a toddler music or tumbling class, Tae Kwon Do or STEAM classes for a school-age child, or community service with a tween or teen, they become part of the fabric of the JCC. At every stage and age of your family’s growth, the Center for Family Life is there.
The Carole Zabar Center for Film
The JCC's film program showcases films that promote change and examine important topics. Our year-round Cinematters series presents previews and special engagements of films followed by discussions with filmmakers, actors, and other special guests. We also host four festivals, including the Cinematters: Social Justice Film Festival, ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York, Other Israel Film Festival, and the Israel Film Center Festival.
The Davidson Fishberg Center for Health + Wellness
The Center for Health + Wellness offers a holistic approach to stimulating your mind, strengthening your body, engaging your heart, and connecting you to a caring community. With the integration of culinary, aquatics, fitness, mindfulness programs, and more under one roof, the Center provides everything you need to fulfill your personal goals.
The David H. Sonabend Center for Israel
The David H. Sonabend Center for Israel fosters deeper understanding and connections between the diverse Jewish community in New York, and the people of Israel. Through programming, classes, lectures, panel discussions, film, fine and performing arts and other cultural offerings, the JCC is a respected home of Israeli content and a place to explore and grow.
The Gottesman Center for Jewish Living
The Center for Jewish Living infuses our institution with Jewish values and radiates them throughout the larger community. Through our diverse programming, we offer opportunities that encourage and amplify connections to Jewish meaning, learning, experience, and community.
The Wechsler Center for Modern Aging
The Wechsler Center for Modern Aging seeks to reimagine older adulthood in a Jewish communal setting as a time of expansive possibility, purpose, community engagement, mutual support, and blessing.
The Joseph Stern Center for Social Responsibility
The Center for Social Responsibility engages participants within and outside of our walls to become more effective civic actors through education, engagement, and advocacy.
The Jack and Shirley Silver Center for Special Needs
The Center for Special Needs builds and nurtures an inclusive and accepting community where individuals with varying disabilities and their families have opportunities to make meaningful connections to each other and their community. We serve as a catalyst and leader, transforming the ways in which the community at large understands and interacts with people with different abilities.
