Jewish Center of the Bay Cities

On Friday, November 13th, Santa Monica’s city sewer backed up, flooding our beloved Gan Israel preschool with thousands of gallons of raw sewage. The classrooms, the toys, and even the turf were destroyed.

Thank God, no one was hurt, and the building has since been decontaminated. The school also quickly found a temporary location to continue caring for our beautiful children. But the insurance will not cover the full replacement value of all the rugs and furniture, the new toys, or the redecoration of our special learning space. 

Please donate whatever you can to help rescue our school, which has provided a foundation for Jewish learning and an oasis of love and happiness in this most difficult year.
