Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan

These eight months of darkness have challenged and inspired the JCC as a community center to meet you at this moment. As the weather warms up, New York City enters a temporary bliss. The sun sets later; our heavy, dark city uniforms disappear. ☀ Let’s harness the luminosity of this season. Join the JCC on the Upper West Side all summer long for programs and events, from ice cream socials and rooftop yoga to uplifting movies and music. Come inside for an interactive gallery installation and enjoy the colorful building makeover. Take selfies with bright, bold backdrops, pick up stickers and buttons to wear and share proudly, and keep an eye out for fun activations and giveaways. “Being together reminds us of our humanity; it affirms that we always have reasons for optimism, for hope, and for joy.” -- CEO Rabbi Joanna Samuels. Join us in flipping the switch to a Summer of Light! View programs events and learn more: https://lnkd.in/eGDb6ghi
