Your Mandell JCC is a community of people of all ages, stages and beliefs who share laughter, learning, listening, and leading. Members are part of a "neighborhood" where minds grow more active, bodies grow stronger, and friendships grow exponentially.

On its main campus in West Hartford, you will find a range of fitness, recreation, education and cultural facilities including a new fitness center, a cultural center, a preschool, an aquatics center, a theater, a family room, an art gallery, a lecture hall and a physical therapy center. Off campus, the Mandell JCC includes two seasonal recreation/educational facilities – a waterfront summer camp in the woods and a suburban swim and tennis club.

The Mandell JCC is a Jewish community open to everyone regardless of faith, who value caring for and sharing with each other. It is a place that is warm and inclusive. It is a place to call your own.
