Kick off the New Year with joy, music, and community! This lively celebration of our community is designed for families with young children and filled with engaging, hands-on activities for all ages.

Enjoy a live klezmer band that will have the whole family dancing, enjoy delicious treats, and create meaningful craft projects tied to the season’s themes, and lawn games by Knucklebones to keep kids moving!

Whether you're new to our community or celebrating with us for the first time, come and enjoy some meaningful family fun!

Cost: $18 per family; Free for JCC Members

To help support a Sweet Start for members of our Greater Newton community we will be partnering with Welcome Home, a local nonprofit organization in Newton, Massachusetts, that provides individuals and families experiencing hardship with basic household items they need to live with dignity.

Welcome Home collects gently used and new household items and redistributes them to hundreds of people in need each month.

Please join us by donating clean, new or like new (no rips of stains):

• Full, Queen or King Blankets & Sheets
• Towels

There will be a donation bin at the event where you can bring these items.

If your family needs specific accommodations or if there is information you would like to share, please let us know so that we can support you. Contact us at family@jccgb.org.
