The Jewish Cultural Society comes together to celebrate Jewish holidays throughout the year. Holiday celebrations for families and members include activities for children and adults. All holiday celebrations can be found on our calendar.
Shabbat Observance
On the first Friday of almost every month, JCS members and other interested members of the Ann Arbor community come together to observe Shabbat.

Our Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur and Break the Fast observances are popular and open to the public (there is a modest charge for non-members). Tashlich is celebrated at Island Park (see map).
