Here are a few of the groups at JCC Krakow impacted by your gift:

Jewish Education - FRAJDA EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

FRAJDA, which means “joy” in Polish and Yiddish, was opened in 2017 and is the first Jewish community preschool in Krakow after World War II. We have had the privilege of welcoming over 70 students to our school over the past 5 years. Our students receive a comprehensive Jewish education, which includes learning about and celebrating every Jewish holiday.

Hillel gimel

JCC Krakow’s Hillel GIMEL Jewish Student Club serves as the meeting place for Krakow’s Jewish university students. Many Hillel GIMEL members first discovered their Jewish roots as teenagers and gained exposure to Jewish culture and heritage only upon moving to Krakow for university. Hillel GIMEL provides a forum for members to explore what Judaism means to them. New members receive guidance, information, and access to an array of Jewish activities to support their entry into the Jewish world.

Senior Club

As the cornerstone of Krakow’s Jewish community, the seniors—many of whom are child survivors of the Holocaust—serve as a source of guidance and information on Judaism for those who are first learning about their Jewish heritage. The Senior Club space is open every day for members to meet each other, share a meal or a cup of coffee, and participate in our full schedule of programming. JCC Krakow arranges a wide variety of educational, fitness, social, and cultural activities. The Senior Club also provides kosher meals, physical therapy, welfare and medical services, language classes, community trips, and transportation to and from the JCC.
