13 Doors
Thirteen artist-created works—
spanning visual art, sound, movement, text, and performance—will interpret
the door as passage: into belonging, possibility, memory, change, and community.
Celebrating 25 Years of Community
A Year of Opening Doors
For one extraordinary year, every corner of the MMJCCM will come alive in new ways — becoming part of the same larger story. Art,
movement, holidays, learning, conversation, friendship and signature celebrations will offer new experiences, unexpected ideas, and fresh ways to encounter the people, traditions, and possibilities that shape
our community.
Anniversary Year
Our Story
Twenty-five years ago, Jewish life was changing. People were seeking new ways to find meaning, belonging,
and community.
The response was not a single program. It was the creation of a place. The MMJCCM was built to meet that moment—and designed to evolve with its community. Again and again, it has opened new pathways into Jewish life, creating not only experiences and connections, but relationships that deepen over time and often become far more than what first brought people through its doors.
How the Year Unfolds
Each season opens another doorway—inviting the entire community into a different idea, feeling, and way of
being together.
Not a new collection of programs. A year unfolding through four distinct chapters, woven into the everyday
life of the MMJCCM and appearing in places, moments, and forms you might not expect—adding new layers
of connection, discovery, and friendship to the life already unfolding here.

25th Anniversary Leadership
Each generation inherits the vision, wisdom, generosity, and innovation of those who came before—and
adds something of its own. Our 25th Anniversary Leadership brings together founders, longtime leaders,
and those helping build the MMJCCM’s next chapter.
Special Anniversary Projects
The Handles We Hold

handles will become one monumental artwork—each beginning with the
simple gesture of reaching forward, taking hold, and opening a new possibility.

Help Shape The Next 25 Years
Twenty-five years ago, visionary leaders invested in an institution designed to evolve with its community. From the beginning, the MMJCCM has been built through the generosity of many—each giving in their own way, each helping create something larger than
themselves.
Today, we have the opportunity to do the same for the next generation.
Through these doors, the next twenty-five years begin.
