The Mandel JCC of the Palm Beaches invites the Palm Beach community to Jewbilee 2026 — a vibrant Jewish showcase celebrating the many ways individuals and families can connect, engage, and build relationships within the Jewish community. Taking place at the Mandel JCC Boynton Beach location on Sunday, Aug. 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Jewbilee is hosted by the Mandel JCC in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, PJ Library, and the Kohl Jewish Volunteer Center.

Designed as a welcoming celebration for all ages, Jewbilee brings together local synagogues, Jewish nonprofits, community organizations, and Jewish vendors for a day filled with connection, discovery, and Jewish pride. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the many resources and opportunities available throughout the Palm Beaches Jewish community — from learning what local synagogues have to offer and discovering ways to join Jewish organizations like Hadassah, to exploring the vital services provided by Alpert Jewish Family Service and finding meaningful ways to get involved with nonprofits such as Keshet and StandWithUs.

Attendees can also shop from local Jewish vendors, enjoy live entertainment, participate in interactive activities, and connect with community leaders and organizations that help make Jewish life in the Palm Beaches so vibrant.

At the heart of Jewbilee is the Mandel JCC’s mission of creating meaningful opportunities for people of all ages to connect, celebrate Jewish culture, and strengthen community bonds. Whether you are new to the area, looking to become more involved, or a longtime community member, Jewbilee offers a welcoming space to discover new connections, explore resources, and find your place within the Jewish community.

Adding to the day’s meaningful experiences, the Kohl Jewish Volunteer Center, in partnership with the Brooke Jackman Foundation, will host a hands-on literacy service project. Families will work together to assemble literacy kits filled with age-appropriate books and educational resources that will be distributed to children in the community, helping foster a love of reading and support early childhood literacy.

Join the Mandel JCC for Jewbilee — a day to celebrate Jewish connection, discover community resources, build relationships, and experience all that makes Jewish life in the Palm Beaches so special.
