Community Shabbat Dinners
The JRCC West Thornhill and Rockford branches hosted a large community Shabbat dinners last month — an evening filled with delicious food, warm ambiance, song, and great spirit. Shabbat dinners give people in the community an opportunity to gather together in a casual, social atmosphere, and celebrate Shabbat together. It is a great way to spend time together, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. 

New Season of Classes Begins
The JRCC’s Institute of Jewish Studies (IJS) launched its fall-winter semester to much acclaim. Several new courses at the JRCC delighted and inspired participants of all backgrounds. The IJS produces engaging courses, lectures, and ongoing classes that are relevant to people in our community and contribute to their sense of purpose and fulfillment in life.

JRCC Women’s Events
As almost every month, women’s Rosh Chodesh gatherings were held at JRCC Branches in honor of the new month of Cheshvan. After a break from the usual monthly festivities due to summer vacations and the High Holidays, participants were happy to get together and enjoy their exciting and engaging monthly gathering. 

Kiddie Chefs
Children ages three to eight were invited to come with their parents to bake and do crafts together at the JRCC S Richmond Hill & Maple and the JRCC East Thornhill. The Kiddie Chefs program focuses on Jewish baking, baking traditional challahs or treats, and enjoying a fun Jewishthemed craft. It’s hands-on learning at its best, and its tastiest!
