Holidays and Shabbat
A Time to Celebrate and Gather
The Springfield JCC serves as a destination for community celebrations, events, and programs throughout the holiday season. In partnership with local agencies, synagogues, and local cultural organizations, we build an annual calendar that includes a community-wide Hanukkah celebration, Yom HaShoah commemoration, Yom HaAtzmaut program, and more. Through our PJ Library programming, families have unique opportunities to experience Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Tu B'Shvat, Purim, and Shavuot. Join us and discover how the J is a destination for connecting with Jewish life and traditions!
