Appoint a teacher for yourself; acquire a friend for yourself; and judge everyone favorably. ~ Pirkei Avos

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

The community all comes together in the Jewish Community Center.  The services there are numerous and the site serves as a locale for many events within the community.  A kosher, shomer Shabbat facility, the JCC also serves as home base for the preschool and day school .

The JCC offers classes and social opportunities for children, adults and senior citizens.  Numerous sports facilities are available through the JCC, including an exercise gym, swimming pools, and racquetball courts.  The JCC provides ample opportunities for children of all ages to participate in competitive sports activities.  Physical and social benefits of team sports in a Jewish environment is just part of the appeal of the JCC. Adults can also participate in team sports or a variety of exercise classes from tai chi to karate to spinning. Health club facilities include sauna, steam room, and whirlpool.

During the summer, the JCC operates its Green Hills Swim Club in the beautiful Fishing Creek Valley (a 10-minute drive from the JCC). Green Hills Swim Club is a private 23 acres of land featuring a large outdoor pool, water slide, picnic tables, ga ga court, playset, and a full service concession stand.
