Come experience Venice, Italy! Jim takes us down the famous Grand Canal, stopping to visit St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto area, the Doge Palace, and several of the hundreds of quaint alleys, squares, and secondary canals that give Venice an exclusive charm like no other city in the world. Sadly, we also see how Venice is slowly being flooded more frequently, regardless of the efforts to block the sea from entering Venice Lagoon.

This program is only open to members of the JCC and/or 60 & Better Center. You can learn more about our 60 & Better Center here or contact Melissa Shrimplin at 513.761.7500 ext. 1218.
The history of Mah Jongg is deeply intertwined with the Jewish community, particularly in the United States. The game, which originated in China, was brought to America by Joseph Babcock in the early 20th century. Babcock changed the numbers on the tiles to numerals familiar to Americans and introduced Mah Jongg to the American market. Come learn Mah Jongg’s evolution from a Chinese gambling game to a symbol of Jewish American identity and the game’s enduring cultural significance.

After visiting the Uffizi Gallery, we’ll climb the tower at the Palazzo Vecchio and see the Ponte Vecchio.

Woulda, Coulda & Shoulda's of Grief: Discussions with the Social Workers
Feelings of guilt and regret can be one of the most uncomfortable parts of grief. It is common for grieving individuals to focus on what they did not do, or regret doing, on their caregiving journey. Join us for a discussion about grief, guilt, and regret. In this workshop, we will learn about grief and why our minds often take us to these complex emotions, as well as tools to soften the “woulda, shoulda, couldas” of grief.
In Partnership with The Goldstein Family Grief Center
