The Jewish Community Center of the East Bay, established in 1978, is moving from its long-time location in Berkeley to a new, expansive three-acre campus in Oakland's Rockridge district. This transition marks a significant evolution for the center, which aims to serve the needs of the Bay Area's largest Jewish community by hosting around 20 organizations. New facilities will include a preschool, Hebrew immersion programs, and various classes and events. CEO Melissa Chapman emphasizes the importance of this move to accommodate the diversity within the community, aiming to enhance civic engagement and social justice efforts.
The JCC is a forefront organization in the East Bay, serving diverse Jewish needs and fostering community engagement over 43 years with a new campus in Oakland.
Chapman states that the East Bay Jewish community's diversity includes various identities and is deeply committed to civic engagement and social justice.
The upcoming move to Oakland will enable the East Bay JCC to broaden its services by housing 20 organizations, enhancing support for an exceptionally diverse community.
