Whatever your personal or family interests, we look forward to partnering with you as you explore the JCC community! We are pluralistic and welcoming; inspired by both our differences and our commonalities, and by the richness they bring to all of our lives. While the JCC embraces Jewish values and traditions, we welcome people of every race, ethnicity, religion and ability.

The PJ Library (yes, PJ as in pajamas) is a Jewish journey through books and reading. Each participating family receives a monthly mailing of a Jewish children's book or musical CD. Selections feature a wide array of themes such as Jewish holidays, folktales and Jewish family life. Along with the books and music, families will receive parenting resources to enhance the reading experience.

The PJ Library is a national project created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and is administered locally by the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston, with additional generous funding from local donors.

Jewish family education
Jewish family educators are dedicated to helping members explore the meaning of community and celebration, and to enriching our everyday activities with Jewish content. In consultation with our program staff and at our camps, trained educators constantly bring new ideas for enhancing JCCGB programs with Jewish content. They lead our Shabbat and holiday celebrations and are popular speakers and discussion leaders at JCC Early Learning Center parent meetings and TeenJCC gatherings.
