Oy to the World is the story of Sally, a 10-year-old girl whose one wish is to celebrate a memorable Hanukkah despite her Grandmother Jessica’s desire to make Hanukkah as big or bigger than Christmas in the Bible Belt. Will Jessica succeed or will Sally’s youthful ingenuity and courage come to the rescue?

Indoor pool closed
2023-12-11 - 2023-12-25
The indoor pool is temporarily closed for maintenance.
But the J has a long-standing reciprocal agreement with the University of Alabama at Birmingham that allows LJCC members to use UAB facilities during extended periods of repair or renovation (they’ve made use of the agreement, too).
All you need to do is show your LJCC membership card at their door for full access. But as is the case with most things UAB, the trick is parking. While you can find public parking in various spots around campus, Lot 5A is the designated parking area for Rec Center visitors. Read more here (select the “University” tab at left), and find a parking map here.
