SUMMARY:Day at the J
DESCRIPTION:Looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon that the kids will love and you’ll enjoy yourself? Day at the J gives the kids an afternoon of play and the adults a few hours to enjoy all the JCC has to offer before coming together for dinner and Havdalah to close out Shabbat. \nWhile the younger kids spend the afternoon playing and doing activities with our dedicated preschool staff\, adults (and kids ages 8 and up!) are invited to Theater J’s production of Tropical Secrets. This play tells the story of Daniel\, a young German Jewish refugee\, and Paloma\, a Cuban girl with secrets of her own\, as they navigate a world of borders and family separation together. If you don’t want to see the play\, help with gift wrapping for our annual toy drive or – as always – play games\, enjoy drinks\, work out at the gym\, or just hang out with other adult friends.

SUMMARY:Shir a Song with Ms. Ellie (Gan HaMishpacha at Adas Israel Congregation)
DESCRIPTION:These classes for children and their grown-up(s) aim to fuse popular secular songs with fun Shabbat and Jewish holiday songs. We use finger plays\, instruments and other props\, dance and movement to create a lively\, musical community for the 45 minutes of class\, enabling you to expose your little one to a rich variety of rhythms and sounds. You will also leave class with a repertoire of songs – both Jewish and secular – that you and your child can continue to sing together\, long after class is over! You do NOT need any Jewish background or any Hebrew knowledge to participate — just bring your enthusiasm and your singing voice and your dancing feet!
