Fri-J

Celebrate the arrival of Shabbat in the PJCC lobby! Join our Jewish Life staff and volunteers for a relaxed, welcoming gathering that sparks conversation and connection. This brief but meaningful moment to pause and recognize Shabbat helps you end the week on a joyful note.

Ready to get your feet moving? Come dance with renowned Bay Area Israeli dance instructor Bronwyn Eisenberg! No matter your dance background—beginner to advanced—you’ll find a place in this inclusive class. Start with simple steps, learn one or two new dances, and then enjoy open dance time, where experienced participants can request favorites. Every class adapts to the group, creating a dynamic, fun-filled experience for all.

Each class begins with foundational steps and starting dances. Intermediate instruction follows, with time for experienced dancers to request their favorites. Participants are welcome to stay for both sessions at no additional cost. Join us for an afternoon of fun, learning, and connection!   

All ages welcome!
