Children & Teens
About us
Here at the J, we take pride in helping children and families learn, play, and connect with their community. From Shalom, Baby! to Afterschool at the J, we have programming for babies, kids, tweens, teens, and everything in-between!
Gift of Israel
The Gift of Israel (GOI) program enables Jewish students from Southern Maine to have an Israel experience as a meaningful part of the Jewish education. The Gift of Israel program is a unique partnership among families, temples and synagogues, and the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine (JCA). It is an effort to assist families in contributing funds toward an educational program in Israel for participating students, and is promoted by local congregations.
