Joy means so much more at Russ & Daughters. It’s been a daily decision since 1914.

On the Lower East Side, this family shop has sliced smoked fish and fed generations through more than a hundred years of a changing world. It kept the counter open. It kept the name on the door.

That’s what we mean by choosing joy. Not something you wait to feel, but something you do, especially when it would be easier not to.

On October 22, Russ & Daughters joins us to talk about what it takes to build something that lasts, and the people who keep it going.

Come Curious. Leave Connected.

.players opens Little Shop of Horrors this weekend and runs until October 25. We are thrilled to bring this iconic musical to the Roth/Resler Theater.

Little Shop of Horrors follows Seymour, a downtrodden florist’s clerk on Skid Row, who discovers a mysterious, bloodthirsty plant. As the plant grows, it brings Seymour fame and the love of his co-worker Audrey, but demands human flesh and blood to survive.

Three years have passed, but the weight of October 7 remains. We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and all those who continue to carry the impact of that day.

Today, our Columbus community pauses to remember and honor those whose lives were taken and those whose lives were forever changed.

We stand together in remembrance, with hope for peace, safety, and a better tomorrow for all.

Hard headlines. Real conversation.

Thank you, Yonah Jeremy Bob, for sitting down with us and bringing clarity to a complicated moment. Choosing joy doesn't mean ignoring the hard parts. Resilience is the choice underneath it, and last night we made it together.

Come curious. Leave connected.

Together we are all trying to make sense of what is going on around us. Sometimes we need an expert to help us unravel it. We have Yonah Jeremy Bob, Senior Correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, coming to the JCC on Monday October 5 to do just that.
