JCC Expands its Bridgewater Facility


The Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center, situated at 775 Talamini Road in Bridgewater, is in the midst of a 20,000 square foot expansion to its facilities at that site. The new wing, shown above, will have two floors. Each will provide much-needed space for an expanded slate of programs.

The first floor will house the Blaustein Early Childhood Education Center, while the second floor will include a youth center, a performing and fine arts center, and flexible multi-purpose space.

The new addition will free up more room in the existing building for an expanded fitness center and aerobics studio. The fitness center is very popular and well-utilized. There will also be an additional studio for yoga, spinning, and martial arts. Both will facilitate new program development for all age groups.

Although the JCC has 1400 member families, it serves more than 5000. Membership is open to all. The JCC also features several outdoor pools, as well as a year-round, indoor heated pool. (My wife and I recently joined to benefit from the indoor pool.) During the summer months this organization runs a camp for children, ages 2 through 9th grade.


Note: Anyone interested in programs or membership can obtain information by calling the JCC at 908-725-6994. Its website is at http://www.ssbjcc.org/
