JCC Song

A celebration of the JCC as a learning and growing place, framing the community center as a favorite spot that always has room.

The chorus carries "There's always a place for me and my family, my favorite place to be is at the JCC." The verses move through coming in with a binkie and going out with a book, learning to play and share, Shabbat parties with candles, juice, and challah. Co-written feel with Lisa Baydush and Joanie Leeds.

What's included:

Lead sheet PDF with melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics. Original composition by Dr. Emily Aronoff featuring Lisa Baydush and Joanie Leeds, copyright 2009. Suitable for guitar, ukulele, or piano accompaniment.

Best fit:

Songleaders, music specialists, cantorial soloists, and music-reading grown ups working with kiddos roughly ages 2-7. Lands at JCC early childhood programming, JCC family events, community-center Shabbat gatherings, and any setting where the community wants to celebrate the place that holds it. Particularly well-suited to JCCs running Sheva Center, J-ELC, or PJ Library programming.
