Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to share some wonderful news. The Jewish Exponent has named the Kaiserman JCC a winner in its Best of Jewish Philadelphia 2026 awardsin three categories: Senior Programming, Special Needs Summer Camp and Afterschool Program. Our Philly JCC Early Learning Centers were also named runner-up for Best Preschool. We are deeply grateful to everyone in our community who took the time to vote for us. Recognition like this means the most when it comes from the people we serve every day.
Our Gems programming is built on the idea that connection, learning and joy have no age limit. Every week our older adults come together for fitness classes, lectures, social gatherings and holiday celebrations, and they bring a warmth and energy that fills our building. This award belongs to every participant who has made our senior community feel like family. Know someone who would love to join? Learn more about Gems and check out our upcoming schedule online.
We are especially proud of the recognition for our inclusion programming at Camp Kef. Every camper gets the support they need to fully take part in the fun, friendships and traditions of summer camp. Our dedicated staff work hard to make sure each child feels welcome, celebrated and part of the group. Seeing that work recognized is a true honor. The countdown to Summer 2027 has begun, and registration is open now. Want to learn more first? Join our virtual open house on November 5. Sign up online!
KidsTime Afterschool also earned top honors this year. KidsTime gives children a safe, caring and engaging place to spend their afternoons, with homework help, creative activities, active play and plenty of time with friends. Families count on KidsTime every day, and our staff shows up for their kids with heart. Spots are still available for this school year. Learn more here.
And a big mazel tov to our Philly JCC Early Learning Centers, named runner-up for Best Preschool in all of Jewish Philadelphia! Our teachers pour their hearts into creating classrooms where curiosity is celebrated, friendships bloom and every child feels like they belong. Both of our schools offer year-round care, and it’s never the wrong time to find the right fit. With year-round enrollment and a gentle transition for every new family, starting or switching schools is easier than you think. Come see what makes our preschool so special.

Thank you to our staff, volunteers, members and families who make these programs what they are. We could not do any of it without you, and we can’t wait to keep growing together.
Shabbat Shalom,
Alan
