Join Philly JCC CEO Alan Scher and EazyDone Founder & CEO Abigail Auerbach-Perets to learn about this amazing amenity now available to the JCC community. EazyDone is an all-in-one platform that streamlines the process of finding and booking trusted Do'ers (service providers) recommended by your friends and neighbors.

Alan and Abigail are hosting a 30-minute Zoom session to tell you more about this on January 11th, and they would love to see you.

Weather related closings

When making the decision to have an early dismissal, delayed opening or close for the day, we take a lot into consideration including local (and surrounding) road conditions, the conditions of the JCC driveways and parking lots, weather predictions and staffing concerns.  


If we have a delayed opening, close early, or if we are closed due to dangerous weather conditions, parents will first receive an e-mail from me as early as possible with all pertinent information. I will also send a text through SchoolDoc. (Make sure you opt in for text messages if you want to be alerted) An announcement will be on our website as well.


I will report our status to KYW News Radio6 ABCFOX 29CBS Philly, and NBC 10. If you turn your television on to your local morning news show, our name, along with all announcements will scroll (usually) at the bottom of the screen.  If you prefer the radio, you can turn on KYW 1060 AM and listen for our School Closing Number which is 404.
