What Makes a Community?
One definition I looked up said “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.” Another said “a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.” The Greater New Haven Jewish community is so much more than a collection of zip codes and mailing addresses, so I believe that the first description that speaks to kinship, shared values and goals defines us better.

Honorable Menschen: Lynn Bullard
Lynn Bullard is the Director of Yeladim Early Learning Center at the JCC. This year marks her 30th anniversary at the JCC, but her ties to the JCC and the local Jewish community began much earlier. Bullard grew up in the area, as a teen regularly taking the bus downtown to the JCC on Chapel Street. This lifelong engagement is the root of her devotion and commitment to the organization and the community that it supports.

Temple Beth Tikvah Celebrates 40 years
In the early 1950’s, using a Torah borrowed from Congregation B’nai Jacob in Woodbridge, about 35 Jewish families purchased a small building in Branford to form the East Shore Jewish Center. Slowly, there was an influx of Jewish families to the shoreline, prompting a need for larger facilities. After the building was sold, High Holiday services were temporarily held at various homes, schools and churches.

Decades of Jewish Camping in CT
Jewish camping has longstanding roots in Greater New Haven. As early as 1931 community leaders felt that Jewish camping experience was of paramount importance. It was then that Women’s Auxiliary group of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association of the Jewish Community Center (JCC) sat forth to find a location for what would one day become Camp Laurelwood.
