Strengthen your Jewish heritage, gain a better understanding for Judaism and enhance your cultural experience through our wide variety of language programs, educational lecture series, Jewish holiday celebrations and workshops, Yiddish programming and interfaith outreach classes.
Hebrew & Yiddish
Learn Hebrew in a supportive and fun environment through conversation, reading, writing and more. Ulpan Ben Yehuda conversational Hebrew and prayerbook Hebrew are offered in small classes, in both daytime and evening, from the very beginner stages to more advanced levels.
Our Yiddish language course introduces students to spoken and written Yiddish using dialogues, songs, oral exercises, proverbs, and video clips to build basic speaking and listening skills.
Holiday Celebrations
Celebrate Judaism through holiday festivals, family and community gatherings and festive workshops.
Interfaith
The JCCGW is a welcoming environment for mixed-faith couples and families. We provide resources to those exploring what it means to be part of a Jewish community. Personal support, ongoing interaction, and a nonjudgmental approach allow individuals with non-Jewish backgrounds and others embracing Judaism to feel welcome.
