Jerry Shaw Jewish Community Center Of Akron

Little people love the Shaw JCC! We’ve got a pool where they can learn to swim a gym where they can play and programs where they can learn and have fun.

At the Shaw JCC our early childhood programs are grounded in An Ethical Start a program for JCC Jewish early childhood parents teachers and children. The program is based on passages from Pirkei Avot Ethics of the Fathers (and Mothers) a classic Jewish text that might be described as the “original self help book.”

For centuries lessons from Pirkei Avot have fed an ongoing discussion on how to live how to operate in the world and how to identify the values we should hold dear like friendship community and respect for all creation. Drawing from the rich moral teachings of Judaism you’ll enjoy conversations about how to bring these values to your child to your family and to your community each day.
