  • 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

    We offer many opportunities for children and older adults to share meaningful moments. 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. And the fun doesn’t stop there—intergenerational activities take place all year round.

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