CELEBRATING
Center for Jewish Life & Culture
Through dynamic programming, visitors will be invited to explore big topics and questions that expand their understanding and connection to Jewish life and culture.
The Center for Jewish Life and Culture welcomes all. The Center is where the journey into the heart of Jewish culture and tradition begins, transcending boundaries and building bridges of knowledge, respect, and unity through a range of Jewish experiences.
In collaboration with established local and national partners, the Center will work to co-create community-wide programs, such as Jewish film festivals and speaker series that celebrate and strengthen human connection.
Celebrate.
Through creative holiday observances, engaging family workshops, and alternative Shabbat celebrations, the Center will also offer a first hand connection to Jewish values, ideas, and traditions that are pluralistic and accessible to all.
Research consistently highlights that exposure to Jewish life significantly reduces antisemitic attitudes. At the Center for Jewish Life and Culture, our mission is to cultivate understanding and connection through meaningful engagement with Jewish life, often serving as the introduction to Jewish life for non-Jewish visitors.
Additionally, rooted in its 160-year legacy, the Tree of Life congregation will return to the building, embodying remembrance, resilience and our sustained commitment to the Pittsburgh community.
