Overview
We aim to make the arts accessible to everyone by bringing a variety of innovative events and inspiring presentations that engage the mind, heart, and spirit.
We offer several series of cultural programming, including Strong Women of the Bible, which features female Biblical heroes, and Our Boys Discussed, an interactive discussion surrounding the HBO television series. We also partner with local arts organizations to create engaging events, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Ballet. We invite you to join us for one of our current offerings, listed below.

Experience live Israeli music by The Tamari Project, visiting Cincinnati for the modern Israeli holidays.
The Tamari Project is a musical initiative in memory of Tamar Kedem Siman Tov, who was murdered on October 7 with her entire family: her husband Jonathan, twin six-year-old daughters, Shachar and Arbel, and two-year-old son, Omer. In addition to being a memorial project, they advocate for the immediate release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.
During the summer of 2014, as operation Tzuk Eitan was going on and under constant rocket and mortar fire, Tamar was part of the team that established the music and art school Bikurim, and later became the principle of Israel’s first youth village for young musicians, right on the Gaza border. The village drew talented kids from across Israel, and helped them fulfill their dreams of becoming professional musicians.
All 50 members of The Tamari Project are the graduates and colleagues of Tamar from Bikurim and the group was created from the deep pain of their community, which suffered a severe blow on October 7 with the murder and abduction of many people close to them. They perform covers of well-known songs, hoping to spread light within the darkness in loving memory of Tamar and in hope of seeing all of the hostages come home.
Yamim Grants are part of the מתחברים | Mit-Habrim | CONNECTIONS funding initiative, a partnership between JCC Association of North America and the Israeli Government’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism.
