Welcome to the A message from Randy Colman, Executive Director With another engaging and exciting season well underway, it’s clear to me that our Levis JCC continues to be “the” place to be for top quality programming in our community. Whether you are here for our beloved preschool and camp programs, our rich and exciting cultural arts offerings, if you’re at our J for health & wellness, or our special needs programs, you know that you are a part of our family.

Our reputation is strong because of the continued strength of our wonderful and caring community and the many significant partnerships we are a part of, year after year.

We proudly assist many families each year with scholarships granted through our financial assistance program. This makes quality preschool, summer camp, and special needs programing attainable for all who wish to participate – this makes our community stronger.

We’ve already touched so many lives through our fall programs – and we’re just getting started! I invite you to explore the courses, programs, services and events in these pages. Find something – or many things – that entice you. We welcome you to be a part of our year-round enriching programs. In so many ways, our J is here for you.

Rescue Bus 300 Guest Speaker: Nati Dinnar, Filmmaker Ten years before the blockbuster movie “Speed” starring Keanu Reeves came out, an event similar to that story took place in Israel.

Four armed terrorists hijacked Bus #300, en route from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon, and led the passengers towards the refugee camps in Gaza and from there perhaps to oblivion. > Sunday, February 25, 7:00 pm > The Polo Club of Boca Raton > General Admission: $25, includes valet parking

> Patron Appreciation Event Six hours of interview footage with David Ben-Gurion, five years before his death, became the basis for this film about Israel’s founder. Ben-Gurion’s introspective soul searching is the focus of this film, and his clear voice provides a surprising vision for today’s crucial decisions and the future of Israel.
