Say "shalom" to our new look

Jewish Long Beach is expanding our brand and introducing J Long Beach, a simpler, more welcoming way to bring everything we do together.

For years, you’ve met friends at the J. You’ve worked out at the J. Your children have grown up at the J. You’ve celebrated, learned, volunteered, gathered and belonged at the J.

So we listened.

New look, same commitment.

It’s a new look. A shorter name. But the same commitment to building a vibrant Jewish community rooted in connection, belonging, and Jewish life.

Jewish Long Beach is still Jewish Long Beach.

The Alpert JCC is still the Alpert JCC.

Our Jewish Federation and Community Foundation remain an important part of how we strengthen Jewish Life.

J Long Beach brings these identities and services together under a shared community brand, making it easier to see how they are all part of one interconnected Jewish community.

Whether you come here to swim, send your child to camp, celebrate Jewish holidays, give through our Annual Community Campaign to strengthen Jewish life locally and Jewish peoplehood around the world, invest in the future of our community through a Donor Advised Fund or legacy gift, or simply find your people...

You belong at the J.

A note on our Early Childhood Education Program

Our Alpert JCC Early Childhood Education Center has been providing quality play-based learning to the Long Beach community for over 65 years. The ECE was originally called a "Nursery School" and later became known as an Early Childhood Education Center as our understanding of child development grew.

To reach more families and continue growing our program, we are shifting from Alpert JCC Early Childhood Education Center (ECE) to Alpert JCC Preschool. This shorter name aligns with how so many families already refer to us, and will help us better communicate our mission.

There's more to come
