Introducing J Prime! A new programming at the JCC for those 45 and beyond who are looking for fun and engaging events in the community. Learn more below.

Adults having fun in a public fountain

Overview

Join your friends and others from the Jewish community in a new programming endeavor for adults ages 45 and beyond who want to engage with peers in dynamic, fun ways across Cincinnati. J Prime is for people who are in the prime of their life: parents with high school or college students, new empty-nesters, individuals or couples with adult children or without kids, recent retirees, and all others who are looking for active, creative, and social programming and events. 

Contact Frannie Kahan at [email protected] for more information.

This program was made possible through a generous grant from the Foundation for Cincinnati Jewish Seniors.
