Mayerson JCC

What an incredible turnout for this year's Fall Market! Thank you to all 1,200+ who stopped by to support our 80+ local vendors. We hope to see you all again next year!

18 years ago TODAY was the Grand Opening of the Mayerson JCC! Check out some photos from that day (let us know if you see any familiar faces!), and we hope you'll join us for the Annual Meeting as we celebrate 18 years being in this amazing building. Register in the comments below! ⬇️

May her memory be a blessing. ❤

PJ Library and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation team are sad to learn of the passing of musician, philanthropist, and American legend Dolly Parton. Dolly's Imagination Library helped inspire Harold Grinspoon to found PJ Library in 2005.

When Harold had the privilege of chatting with Dolly in 2023, she shared the following with him: "I am honored to get to help inspire a love of reading in children. They truly are our future."

Harold remembers Dolly as "a truly amazing person--not only a great artist, but a great entrepreneur and philanthropist. We honor Dolly for educating millions, for her remarkable career, her kindness, her art, and especially her generosity."

Listen to some great music and read a beautiful storybook today in her memory. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and fans. May her memory be a blessing.

Mazel Tov to JCC member, Myer, on winning a bronze medal at the Maccabiah Games in Israel!

We sent Myer McKee to Israel with a Cincy Journeys grant, and he came back with a bronze medal!

Myer captained the USA U-17 Futsal team at the Maccabiah Games, playing alongside Jewish athletes from around the world. Getting there took months of drills and conditioning, the same routine over and over until it became second nature.

"Representing Team USA and competing in Israel alongside Jewish athletes from around the world was an unforgettable experience," Myer said. "A huge thank you to Cincy Journeys for helping sponsor my journey and making this possible."

This is exactly why Cincy Journeys exists: so a Cincinnati kid can chase a dream all the way to Israel, and come home with a medal around his neck.

Mazel tov, Myer. We're so proud of you!

There's something about this place:

As the daughter of a JCC president and board member, Stephanie Fries grew up at the JCC. From preschool on Roselawn to Camp at the J, Fries describes herself as “a child of the J” and never imagined her life without it. When Leah Wise moved in next door, the two quickly became friends, and Fries invited Wise to come to the J with her. Read more about the community Wise found here at the JCC following the link in our comments. 👇

Thank you to everyone who attended our 60 & Better Comedy Club event! Comedian and Cincinnati local, Nina Perlove, entertained our 60 & Better crowd with jokes and flute playing for a successful afternoon of laughter and fun.
