Programming

JCA programs explore the vibrant intersection of diverse cultures and ideas that make up our community through a lens of Jewish values and shared universal principles. Together with our community partners, we aim to nurture mind, body, and spirit through a range of programming for all backgrounds, ages, and interests.


Hang out with your community. Foster your curiosity and keep on learning. Connect with Israel. And more importantly, have fun. Don’t know where to start? Choose your own adventure by visiting our calendar of events.

Pickleball: We offer Pickleball game time to the community! You do not need to be a JCA member, or even be Jewish, in order to play Pickleball at the JCA. All are welcome to play! We offer Open Play hours on most Sundays at the JCA and seasonal Coached Play sessions when our coaches are available. Open Play is free for JCA members, but we charge a small fee per session for non-member players. Coached play is $10 per 2 hour session for the general public and $5 for JCA members. We use the scheduling app Spond for registration and to share the most up to date information about court availability. If you would like to play Pickleball at the JCA, please download the app and create a free account using this link: https://group.spond.com/FDNGX
