A New Day Begins With You
We’re building on greatness—a community that’s already thriving but striving for even more. The MARJCC has been a cornerstone of connection, growth, and belonging for years, but as our community evolves, so must we. That’s why we’re launching this transformative project: to expand opportunities, create inspiring spaces, and ensure the J remains the heart of our growing community. Together, we can raise the funds to take the MARJCC to the next level—honoring our strong foundation while building a future full of endless possibilities. Be part of this exciting evolution.

Our Shared Vision
“Look how far we have come! Our programs are bursting with participants, and we have decreased our debt. This campaign will make a difference in so many lives. The importance of this effort goes beyond bricks and mortar. It’s about a community and its future. Even when I’m not at the JCC, my heart is there. Because that’s where my community is.”
“Our JCC and this potential campaign are very important. It is essential that Jews have a place to go where there are other Jews, some like them, many from different backgrounds. It is
a unique place for everyone to mix – regardless of their denomination and how they express their Judaism.”
“At our JCC, you become part of a community. You learn what it means. Our JCC lays the groundwork for the continuity of our Jewish community from generation to generation. You are surrounded by your friends, your Jewish peers. It doesn’t matter what you do at the
JCC as long as you are doing it there”
Are you ready to join us in creating A New Day at the J?
