Day at the J: Ahava Edition

Join us for the pilot launch of Day at the J, a new twice-monthly Saturday afternoon program bringing families with young children together at the EDCJCC!

Our theme is Ahava (love in Hebrew) – 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 (a 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.

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.

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!

This program is presented by the Edlavitch DCJCC in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington.
