Equal access to all
The JCC East Bay invites you to join us for this program. We welcome and support our diverse Jewish community, people of all religions, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, communities of color, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community. The JCC East Bay believes it is important for people of all abilities to feel welcome and included in our space. Our 100+ year old historic building does offer limitations, and cannot accommodate everyone in the way we would hope. Please let us know your specific needs so we can best make you feel included in our space. If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to afford the price of the ticket, please contact sarahwr@jcceastbay.org. We look forward to hearing from you to make your experience at the JCC East Bay a positive one.
