It also supports the largest network of Jewish early childhood centers and Jewish summer camps in North America, and is a U.S. government accredited agency for serving the religious and social needs of Jewish military personnel through the Jewish Welfare Board’s Jewish Chaplains Council.

35th Anniversary Archive Opening and Founders Gala

We celebrated the J’s 35th anniversary with a gala celebration at which an archive, 2 years in the making, was opened and the first ever history written about the J, “The History of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Ann Arbor,” by Fran Martin, was published and available for sale.
