Jewish Story Lab (JSL)
Jewish Story Lab offers a unique opportunity
for students to delve into their Jewish identity
through storytelling, service learning, and
community engagement. Our first JSL class is
having a blast learning about Jewish history,
doing service projects, and creating their own
Jewish stories. Together with their families they
are making social connections, celebrating
Shabbat and other Jewish holidays, and creating
shared experiences that reinforce Jewish values.
JSL is for students in grades 6-8. Find more
information and get ready to enroll in next
year’s class. bostonjcc.org/jsl
