Sunday, March 22 - Saturday, March 28
Dear JCC Members,


As you know, our campus is temporarily closed. Even though our doors are shut for the time being, I want you to know that we are still working for you. We are having daily online meetings and carrying on with things the best we can. We are committed to providing you with new opportunities and resources as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances together.

With that in mind, we are proud to introduce the new Virtual J - online resources allowing for meaningful engagement opportunities. If you haven't already, please take some time to explore this new portion of our website.
The new Virtual J is organized by department. We realize that in these times of uncertainty, seeing a familiar face can be reassuring - especially for our smallest members. The JCC Staff is working hard to quickly create new content. As each day goes by, more content will be added. If you have a program or topic you would like to see featured please reach out to any program director or email us at jcc@jccomaha.org

Connecting with community members and exploring new ways to demonstrate our values is important to us (in the most social-distancing-sensitive way). Thank you for your kind messages to our devoted staff who are working diligently to provide you with the best member experience both in person and virtually.

We will continue to email updates and information as needed. Past updates can be found on the announcements page of the JCC website. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any member of the JCC staff. We're here for you.
Social distancing but united. The JCC staff is working hard for you!
