Anchored by an expanded JCC and home to a network of Jewish n onprofit organizations\, the three-acre Campus will bring together early c hildhood education\, arts and culture\, wellness\, learning\, and communit y in one vibrant location. Rooted in Jewish values\, the Campus will offer a welcoming\, inclusive space for all to come together\, experience\, and celebrate—strengthening belonging\, resilience\, and connection across generations. “I am incredibly excited to welcome the expanded Jewish Com munity Center of the East Bay and their Campus partners to our Rockridge c ommunity\,” said Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. “This facility will provid e critical early childcare services\, generate economic returns for the ne ighborhood\, and serve as a vital cultural gathering point — transformin g an underused site into a flourishing hub of activity. This is great news for Oakland\, and we look forward to celebrating the grand opening!” By uniting many Jewish organizations in one central location\, the Campus of fers an innovative model for collaboration and engagement across intellect ual\, cultural\, spiritual\, and social life. “This Campus represents a transformational investment in Jewish life in the East Bay\,” said Steve n Douglas\, JCC East Bay and East Bay Jewish Community Campus Board Presid ent. “We are building a vibrant\, welcoming home where people of all age s and backgrounds can gather to learn\, celebrate\, and thrive together. T his shared home for leading Jewish organizations will strengthen community bonds\, expand partnerships\, and help ensure a strong and dynamic future for generations to come.” The Campus will be located at 5957 Chabot Roa d\, between College Avenue and Claremont Avenue. The Campus site was previ ously the office headquarters of Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream on the College Avenue side and the original Oakland Yoshi’s restaurant and jazz club o n the Claremont Avenue side. The project transforms two familiar East Bay sites into a place where the community can grow and flourish. A ribbon-cut ting ceremony is slated for September\, and grand opening events will take place in early 2027\, at which time a full suite of programs and services will be open to the public. The expanded JCC East Bay\, along with up to 20 other Jewish organizations\, will be housed on the Campus\, benefiting from a wide range of amenities and meeting spaces designed to foster co-cr eation and innovation. The Campus will feature a kosher café\; an event c enter showcasing new arts and culture programs\; a catering and teaching k itchen\; a health and wellness studio\; an intimate library\; classrooms f or adult learning\; a spacious early childhood education center with outdo or play areas and sensory room\; and a dedicated teen center. Anchored by a central courtyard with a meadow\, reflection garden\, ball court\, and s eating areas\, the Campus will offer inviting spaces for people of all age s to experience Jewish life together in an open\, accessible environment. A highlight of the new Campus will be the thoughtfully designed performanc e venue\, with capacity to entertain more than 200 patrons. The event cent er’s collection of flexible\, multi‑use spaces—including an outdoor deck—will provide the East Bay with a sought-after setting for year-roun d programming. Events will center on arts\, ideas\, and Jewish culture\, f eaturing local\, national\, and international artists and thinkers. The JC C East Bay will operate an expanded Early Childhood Education Center on th e new Campus\, significantly increasing preschool capacity for children ag es six months to five years\, with beautifully reconstructed\, spacious\, and well-appointed classrooms. In addition to the preschool\, the Campus w ill offer a Parent Center with community sessions and classes for both chi ldren and their parents or caregivers. All told\, the Campus spans more th an 128\,000 square feet\, of which 84\,000 square feet will be building sp ace\, activating a previously underutilized site in Rockridge. Generously funded through grants and individual support—including founding donors a nd visionaries\, Moses Libitzky and Nathan Petrowsky—more than half of t he $125 million campaign goal has been secured and additional funds have b een pledged. Building on this momentum\, efforts continue to secure the re maining funding needed to bring the full vision to life. “I am so proud to support this amazing effort to expand East Bay Jewish communal life and create a space where multiple Jewish organizations can operate and thrive collectively\,” said Moses Libitzky. “Oakland’s Rockridge neighborh ood is an ideal location to host this purpose-driven new Campus.” The un ique campus model will harness the collaboration and creativity that emerg e when numerous Jewish organizations share one central home. Together\, th ey will generate a richer\, more diverse portfolio of programs\, services\ , and experiences—expanding what is possible for the East Bay community. “The opening of the East Bay Jewish Community Campus is a landmark mome nt for our region\, and the Federation is proud to see this dream become r eality\,” said Joy Sisisky\, President and Chief Executive Officer of th e Jewish Federation Bay Area. “Mazel tov to everyone who helped make thi s dynamic hub for Jewish life possible. We look forward to building an eve n stronger presence in the East Bay through our new Federation space on Ca mpus and the deeper partnerships it will make possible.” The JCC East Ba y’s Early Childhood Education Center will open its doors in late August\ , several months ahead of the Campus’s official grand opening. The JCC E ast Bay will continue to offer its afterschool and Edah (Jewish and Hebrew experiential) programs at their Berkeley location on Walnut Street throug h the 2026-27 school year. The organization is in the process of selling t he Walnut Street building and exploring options to continue operating some programs at an alternate location in Berkeley. “We believe our new Camp us will become a central gathering place\, not only for the Rockridge neig hborhood\, but for the entire East Bay Jewish community and the East Bay a s a whole\,” said JCC East Bay Chief Executive Officer Susie Cohen Crump ler. “We look forward to expanding our programs and working closely with partner organizations to meet the evolving needs of our community. Now is the time to foster connection and belonging within the Jewish community. Our collective future is bright with opportunity.” Community members int erested in Campus updates\, program information\, enrollment opportunities \, or supporting the project can learn more and sign up for updates at jcc eastbay.org. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n About the JCC East Bay: Serving more than 9\,0 00 people each year\, the JCC East Bay plays an important role as a commun al gathering place for people of all ages\, backgrounds\, and levels of ob servance.
