S

ince its establishment in 1926, the JCC has played a central role in the physical, social, spiritual and educational well-being of the Jewish and general community of Metropolitan Detroit. Located in West Bloomfield, our facility offers year-round programming for families, children, teens and adults.

The JCC includes a fitness center, three swimming pools, a summer day camp, a child development center, an inline hockey center, an interactive children’s museum and an art gallery – to name a few! We continue to expand and diversify our programs, but our goals have remained the same since our founding: to provide the finest programming, events and services, and to guarantee that our JCC is a place of Jewish values where everyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, ability or financial status.

THE MISSION of the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit is to support

Jewish unity, ensure Jewish continuity and enrich Jewish life while conveying the importance of well-being within the Jewish and general community and the people of Israel.

Access and Inclusion

To support our mission of inclusion, the Jewish Community Center welcomes everyone to use our facilities and participate in our programs.

Pat Hazell performs “The Wonder Bread Years”

A fresh and funny salute to Americana, “The Wonder Bread Years” stars former “Seinfeld” writer Pat Hazell in a fast-paced, hilarious production that gracefully walks the line between stand-up and theatre.

“The Wonder Bread Years” is a comic bullseye for Baby Boomers, a show that remembers everything from sitting at “the kids’ table” to riding in the Country Squire wagon, restoring a much-needed sense of wonder and leaving audiences laughing and savoring the past!

8 p.m. Saturday, September 10 3 p.m. Sunday, September 11 Tickets start at $38

Tom Dugan in “Wiesenthal”

This magnificent one-man play is filled with hope, humanity and humor as it tells the riveting true story of the “Jewish James Bond” who devoted his life to bringing to justice more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals.

Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble, Simon Wiesenthal was a universal hero whose unbelievable dedication and tenacity spanned decades and resulted in the capture of some of the world’s most evil figures.

Art by Charles McGee

Connections: The Artistry of Bits and Pieces

Sunday, August 28-Thursday, September 29 Opening Reception: 1-4 p.m. Sunday, August 28 Please join us for a talk by the artists at 11 a.m. Sunday, September 11 Soon after Nanci LaBret Einstein and Jay Knapp met, they discovered they shared an interest in the connections imbued in the world of making art.

LaBret Einstein's work stems from her attraction to the emotional-intellectual connection between the audience and her sculptures, which twist everyday objects into something more. Knapp's work twists objects as well, but far more literally as he spins ordinary items into string, creating large fiber works that probe the struggles that have entwined the lives of artists.

Hebrew Poetry and the Bible

Bagels, deli and gefilte fish are only a few of the Jewish foods to have crossed into American culture. ”Rhapsody in Schmaltz” traces the history of the cuisine that Yiddish-speaking immigrants brought to the U.S. and how these foods impact modern culture, from Diane Keaton's pastrami sandwich in “Annie Hall” to Larry David's Passover seder on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Columnist, bon vivant and raconteur, Michael Wex is the author of “Born to Kvetch,” which sold more copies than any other book about Yiddish. His Yiddish-to-English translations range from Sholem Aleichem’s stories to material for war crimes trials, while his English-to-Yiddish projects include the only such translation of “The Threepenny Opera” authorized by the authors’ estates, and songs

by Holly Near, Irving Berlin and Bob Dylan. Wex’s presentations combine learning, stand-up comedy and a probing investigation into the nature of Yiddish and Yiddishkayt. $10 - To purchase tickets: 248.661.1900 or jccdet.org/wex
