Whatever you enjoy doing - or whatever you're interested in learning - the Reba and Sam Sandler Family Campus of the Tidewater Jewish Community has it for you and your family.

The Sandler Family Campus unites all generations and links us more tightly to our Jewish heritage.  It is a center for all that nourishes our desire to connect with our culture and each other through education, programming and social gatherings.  It offers an educational environment that is enlivened by the energy and curiosity of our children and grandchildren.  It is a center culturally enriched by classes in Judaic life, art shows, as well as lectures and concerts.  It is a meeting place for old friends and new acquaintances as well as a nurturing environment for our very youngest in day care and day camps with a state-of-the-art fitness center and athletic fields for sports and recreation.

 

 

 

You are welcome here.  We hope to see you soon.

 

  

Walk into the front door of the main building, and you're surrounded by a dramatic atrium of tile, wood and Jerusalem sandstone - called the "Cardo" - which, like its ancient namesake, immediately connects you to all that's going on in the Center's meeting rooms and activity areas. Stroll through the corridor and enjoy artwork on display. Hear the giggles of children and strains of music echoing around you. Indeed, from the moment you step inside, you're part of a vibrant community that connects us to our Jewish heritage and enables us to grow as a people.
