Family Fun Day

*Songs* *Stories* *Dancing* *Crafts* *Fun*

 

Grab your blanket and join us in the JCC courtyard with Risa Lenore of Jelly Jam Time for our Family Funday!

Risa will lead us in songs, interactive stories, dancing, crafts, and more! This event is for children 2-7 years old (younger and older siblings are always welcome) and their families. Jen Altman, from Jewish Baby Network will be joining us with a special space and program provided for families with babies and toddlers.

Each Family Funday we will embrace a Jewish value. In October we will explore the Jewish value Chesed(Loving Kindness).

About Risa:

Risa Lenore is known for her multitude of creative energy. Risa’s business, Jelly Jam Time, congeals her passions into a practice of bringing stories to life through story-dancing and engaging puppet shows. As she brings high quality programming to young audiences, she integrates play and the story while valuing children’s creative input.

A suggested donation of $18/family goes to offset the cost of family engagement programs.

JCC East Bay is committed to equal access to all:

The JCC East Bay invites you to join us for this program. We welcome and support our diverse Jewish community, people of all religions, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, communities of color, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community.

The JCC East Bay believes it is important for people of all abilities to feel welcome and included in our space. Our 100+ year old historic building does offer limitations, and cannot accommodate everyone in the way we would hope. Please let us know your specific needs so we can best make you feel included in our space.

If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to afford the price of the ticket, please contact the organizer of this event, Liz Kaufman (liz.kaufman@jcceastbay.org) to discuss access options. We look forward to hearing from you to make your experience at the JCC East Bay a positive one!
