Jewish Youth Connection - JYC

JYC recently closed out the school year with a special graduation ceremony. We spoke about the special role of every Jew in contributing to the chain of Jewish tradition, and celebrated our students unique contributions to the Jewish people with our very own student made Aleph Bet book! Our students spent all year learning their Hebrew letters and vocabulary words, and will now be able to take them home and learn from them forever!

Have a great summer!

Today we celebrated BOTH Mother’s Day and Yom Ha’atzmaut by making fun Hebrew coupons for our moms, and Israel charm bracelets! It was so much fun!

Happy Passover from JYC! To prepare for the Seder, we had some fun making Afikomen Bags and brushing up on the story of Passover with a classic - Passover!

A beautiful article written by our principal, Ruthie Hollander for The Blue Dove Foundation, just in time for Passover! Check it out!

Happy Purim from JYC! To celebrate, our kids made Mishloach Manot for each other, and got to make their own groggers! Boooo Haman!

Happy Tu B’Shvat! This past Sunday, in anticipation for the birthday of the trees, we planted seeds of our own to care for, and regularly show our appreciation for, the world Hashem gave us!

Lots of Hanukkah fun at JYC! From learning about what it means to be a giving leader - a shamash - to making our own Lego dreidels! We hope everyone is having a happy Hanukkah!

Happy Thanksgiving! Last week, in honor of the holiday, our students learned about the gift of Hakarot Hatov, gratitude, and its foundational role in Jewish tradition.

To embody the feeling of Hakarot Hatov, we made gratitude cards to share at our Thanksgiving tables, and wrote letters for IDF soldiers to express our gratitude for their bravery and strength!

This past Sunday, students learned about the hero-like qualities of Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, who worked hard to find a wife for Isaac and play an indispensable role in the story of the Jewish people without having his name mentioned and taking any credit.

What is a true hero?

Our students had a great time learning about the ways Abraham taught us how to fulfill the mitzvah of Hachnasat orchim, welcoming guests, and made welcome signs for their homes!

We had a great time learning this important lesson last Sunday at JYC!
