PJCC Holidays & Celebrations

In partnership with local Jewish organizations and synagogues, the PJCC holds family-friendly events celebrating Jewish holidays. Some of our most popular cultural events include:

Shabbat

Each Friday we celebrate Shabbat at 3:00 in the lobby. All are welcome to attend.

Havdallah Swim and Big Screen Party

Bring the whole family and join us for a summertime swimming, movie and Havdallah (in italics) celebration! Check out a movie on the big screen as you take a dip in the indoor pool and then enjoy a delicious vegetarian dinner. There will be crafts and games for the kids and and a special parent learning session about Havdallah (the special ceremony that marks the end of Shabbat). We will conclude the evening with rockin' Havdallah sing-a-long.

This program is partially supported by generous grants from the Koret Foundation and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund.
