Join us for the pilot edition of Day at the J, a new twice-monthly Saturday afternoon program bringing families with children ages 0-7 together at the EDCJCC! Our theme this month is Ahava (love), celebrating love in all its forms just in time for the season. Parents and kids will have their own activities before coming together for a community Havdalah.

Join us for the pilot launch of Day at the J, a new twice-monthly Saturday afternoon program bringing together families with young children (ages 7 and under) at the EDCJCC! Day at the J offers flexible programming where families can drop in for supervised play and activities, relax in adult social spaces, or participate together. It's designed to be low-pressure, consistent, and a place where DC families can build community and deepen their connection to Jewish life.

Our theme this month is Ahava (love), celebrating love in all its forms just in time for the season. While adults enjoy a screening of the classic romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally in tribute to director Rob Reiner and connect with other parents, kids will explore the theme of love through hands-on activities including crafts, dancing, building projects, and more. We'll close the afternoon with a community Havdalah, bringing everyone together to mark the end of Shabbat in a welcoming, accessible way.

This is our pilot program, and we'd love your feedback as we build this new community tradition! If you have any questions or if the price of this program poses a barrier, please reach out to Lauren at leskovitz@edcjcc.org.
