JCC FAMILIES WARMLY WELCOMES YOU TO THE JCC’S SUMMER PROGRAMME! Introducing you to the team: Sara Levan is a youth worker, teacher and qualified counsellor. “As a mum, being involved with family programming comes as a natural progression from wanting to see more activities with the right mix of social opportunity, fun and education, within a high-quality provision.” Liat Rosenthal has a background in Youth Arts, working with circus artists, dancers, theatre-makers, musicians and puppeteers.
“I am passionate about making learning fun, creative and engaging for everyone. Bringing people together is at the heart of the JCC and it’s a real pleasure to make this happen for the community.” “See you at an event this season – one or both of us will be there and we would love to talk and hear what’s going on with you and yours.”

ANTENATAL CLASSES Why book an antenatal course with the JCC? Our antenatal classes prepare you for birth and early parenthood as well as linking you to the JCC which offers resources, programmes and events to parents and families. The course taught by Emma Bloom and Adele Stowe Lindner offers a wide range of topics to help inform and build confidence in preparation for childbirth, and will also offer an additional non-denominational session to help you learn about Jewish rituals, construct your own baby blessing and engage with what it is to be a Jewish parent. We’re committed to creating a unique environment to bring people together; you will come to our classes as individuals, and leave as a community. The course will be held over two full Sundays.
