JCCs and Jewish reawakening in Central Europe

 
   

Jewish Community Centers play a central role in rebuilding Jewish life, particularly in countries that were most affected by the Holocaust. During the COVID-19 crisis, this role has never been more important. Although JCCs had to close their buildings, and suspend many of their programs, they certainly did not stop their activities. Rather, they showed tremendous creativity and innovation in producing online programing, keeping their community members engaged, and even reaching out to new people. JCCs are key to helping their communities weather this crisis by connecting people with each other and providing meaningful and rich online activities.

During our session, Rabbi Paley will discuss the topic of Jewish reawakening in Central Europe, and the JCCs response to the current crisis. You will hear perspectives on the challenges and opportunities faced by three key communities in Central Europe, as we are joined by these distinguished leaders:

Zsuzsa Fritz – Director of JCC Budapest
Agata Rakowiecka – Director of JCC Warsaw
Jonathan Ornstein – Director of JCC Krakow
