Thankful at The J

Read what some of our staffers have to say about what they’re thankful for here at The J: 

Eight young children in two rows hold up individual letters that spell out "Thank you."
“I am thankful for the families who embrace us and trust us with their children in the Early Childhood Learning Center,” says an LJCC staff member.

“I am thankful…

  • …for the [ECLC] children and how they make me feel like a rockstar every time they see me — even if it’s 20 times in one day.”
  • …for my amazing coworkers and all the hard work they put into keeping the J running smoothly.”
  • … for the families who embrace us and trust us with their children in the Early Childhood Learning Center.”
  • …for how we get to know members on a first-name basis — and they get to know us!”
  • …that The J has been able to support the B’ham community for 116 years, and in turn for the community’s longtime support of The J.”
  • …for a return to normalcy after a few years of pandemic-induced instability.”
  • …that we are finally resurrecting our theater program!”
  • …that at The J we are able to reach so many people in B’ham — both Jewish and non. It makes me feel like I get to make a difference in this city.”
  • …that we are able to forge meaningful partnerships with the likes of the American Red Cross, Children’s of Alabama, and Autism Support of Alabama.”
