the J

Exploring, Living and Connecting Jewishly

Jewish values and identity are explored through educational, cultural and social programs that are open to anyone in the St. Louis community. From learning about Passover and Chanukah to attending Israel Independance Day, the J is here as a community resource. We strive to create innovative and opportunistic programs for you and your family so you can make connections within yourself and the community.
