Arts + Ideas

The hub of Jewish life in greater Seattle is home to eclectic and invigorating Arts + Ideas programs.

SJCC is thrilled to bring you another amazing season of Arts + Ideas in the theater and online for film screenings, comedy magic, and our new Chew on This! Speaker Series, featuring authors, chefs, and thought-leaders to feed your mind, soul, and palate.

This season’s artists will make you think, laugh until you cry, consider a different side of things, dance the night away, and connect with your community. And, coming in spring 2024, our 29th Seattle Jewish Film Festival. Learn more on our SJFF homepage >>
