  • JEWISH PARENTING AND GUIDANCE

    While there may not be an instruction manual to being a great parent, Judaism provides many resources on this topic. JFS programs provide tools to help parents and foster connections. Topics have included “Positive Discipline”, dealing with ADHD, teaching children about tikkun olam, and understanding LGBTQ issues.

    Call our office for more information, (336) 852-4829.

  • INTERGENERATIONAL ACTIVITIES

    Our Volunteer program, our Chai Notes program, and our Children and Family program all help create meaningful and fun activities for all. Of special interest is our holiday gift bags program where grandparents, parents, and children assemble and deliver gift bags at Rosh Hashana, Chanukah, and Passover. Opportunities for children and older adults to come together run throughout the year.

    Call our office for more information, (336) 852-4829.
