Sunset Summer Shabbat

Sunset Summer Shabbat | 2026

Celebrate the start of summer with a laid-back Family Shabbat party at Bernard Weinger JCC! We’ll gather outdoors (weather permitting) for a casual grill out, plus plenty of summer fun. Families can enjoy giant lawn games, bubbles, and even the climbing wall. Come welcome Shabbat with sunshine, play, and relaxed community vibes as we kick off the season together.

Friday, May 15 | Registration requested by May 14

5:30 – 7 pm

Backpack and Lunchbox Donation Drive

Sunrise Day Camp-Chicago is a program of JCC Chicago that provides a free, medically supported summer camp and year-round programming for children with cancer and their siblings across Chicagoland. To help our campers start the summer feeling confident and prepared, we are inviting our J community to participate in a backpack and lunchbox drive (all items must be new to protect our campers’ health). Your generosity helps ensure every child receives a special bag and lunchbox of their own as they begin their camp experience. If you would like more information about Sunrise Day Camp-Chicago or to get involved, please reach out to Allie Huey at [email protected] or visit us at https://www.sunrisedaycamp-chicago.org/.
