When Ruth Nomberg first joined the Levite Jewish Community Center as the Fitness Desk receptionist, she knew only a few people in Birmingham. Nearly 30 years later, after serving as Membership Director and continuing to work at The J today, she has built countless relationships and collected stories that reflect what makes The J so special.
On Wednesday we observed the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks on southern Israel. As we reflected on the lives lost, the lives forever changed, and the ways October 7 continues to shape our community, we asked three professionals from the Montclair Campus to share their reflections.

For over a century, the J has been a home for gathering, growing, and building lifelong connections. Now, it’s time to mark this historic milestone together. Join us as we honor our heritage, celebrate our vibrant present, and look ahead to what’s next at our 120th Anniversary Celebration!
