Explore, Discover & Personalize Your Jewish Experience
From resources to workshops and programming, we are the only organization in Cleveland solely focused on supporting interfaith couples and families exploring Jewish culture and values.
Hi, We’re jHUB!
jHUB exists to welcome, listen to, and embrace interfaith couples and families as they explore Jewish culture and customs that can enrich their lives. To learn where they came from. To explore possibilities for the road ahead. To continue their search for connection. And, to engage in a comfortable space — at their own pace.
In addition to events, we connect you to Jewish clergy for your lifecycle needs, and host workshops for couples and grandparents to learn with their peers how to navigate issues unique to being part of an interfaith family.
Upcoming Events
We offer regular programming for both couples and families to comfortably explore, discover and personalize Jewish culture and values in an accessible and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Customized, Inclusive Resources

Nina & Scott
Nina and I have found in Jewish Cleveland the home we always wanted, thanks to jHUB. From the fun learning tools we could use at home – like ‘Hanukkah in a Box’ to welcoming and inclusive events, jHUB has opened our eyes and opened doors for us time after time.

A Grandparent
Our meeting with you, and the Grandparents Group, gave us momentum, helpful ideas, and a little more confidence to raise issues with our son and his wife in a way that is respectful of them. We thank you very much for this!

Michelle & Dan
Without jHUB, we feel we would still be searching for other couples “just like us.” We will forever be grateful for the opportunities and experiences provided to us by jHUB. Thank you!

I think [the jHUB workshop] was wonderful. The environment was welcoming and made me very comfortable. Everyone involved in putting together this series was very thoughtful. It was planned out well and helped us learn more than I thought we would.
