Bringing Jewish culture to life for everyone.
At the Rady JCC, we believe arts and culture have the power to connect, inspire, and build a stronger community. From film and jazz to lecture series, music, and holiday celebrations, our programming brings people together through creativity, curiosity, and joy — no matter their age, background, or experience.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of The Asper Foundation, whose enhanced investment in 2025 marked a transformative milestone in the future of Jewish cultural programming at the Rady.
With this funding, we’re able to expand existing programs and launch new ones that reflect the evolving interests of our Jewish community. It also helps us remove financial barriers so more people can access enriching cultural experiences — regardless of means.
From community Shabbat dinners to large-scale festivals, this initiative ensures Jewish culture remains vibrant, meaningful, and accessible to all who wish to engage. It reflects a shared belief: Jewish life thrives when it’s celebrated, supported, and shared.
