As we reach the end of 2020, a year that has been filled with disruptions and uncertainty, we are glad to welcome a holiday about light and celebration. Chanukah is all about looking for beauty and celebrating life’s miracles. To honor that tradition, we’ve put together eight fun facts about the New Orleans JCC.

The Jewish community is partnering with Tulane Medical School students for a holiday food drive for CrescentCare, a New Orleans clinic that offers comprehensive health and wellness services to the community, advocates for empowerment, safeguards the rights and dignity of individuals, and provides for the public. 

As we move into the joyful celebration of Sukkot, the New Orleans JCC is pleased to partner with the Junior League Diaper Bank for a week-long diaper drive to help those who are most vulnerable.

This year, the Cathy and Morris Bart Jewish Cultural Arts Series will feature four feel-good movies shown in socially distant screenings at the Uptown JCC. In addition, three authors will speak in virtual book events held in partnership with the Nashville and Memphis Jewish Community Centers. 

Fresh air and curated playlists will push you through a 50-minute ride led by one of the JCC's experienced instructors.

A few of our regular members were kind enough to share their experience coming back to the J after quarantine. 

The New Orleans JCC is pleased to partner with the Marcus JCC to bring their popular Atlanta book festival to New Orleans—virtually!

The High Holidays, beginning the evening of Friday, September 18, will be celebrated differently this year. We’ve gathered virtual events from some of our favorite organizations.
