23 years ago is when it all began, starting to create our community in Aspen. Building on our success we are now raising $26 Million for our next bold chapter.
“When we came to Aspen over 20 years ago from a tight-nit community in New York, I loved it, and I wanted to build a Jewish community here that made everyone feel welcome. All these years later, I look at what we’ve built, and it feels like home . The JCC is family to so many who live here…and so many who visit us year after year.” - Lieba Mintz, Co-Founder, Aspen JCC
After over two decades of service and community building in Aspen, hundreds of locals and thousands of visitors call the Aspen Chabad Jewish Community Center “home.” Through our robust program offerings, educational opportunities, holiday gatherings, school, camp and more, we have been fortunate enough to offer support and community to any and all who need it. Now, we want to expand our offerings to truly serve the needs of everyone who lives here through our campus and beyond.

Because of the JCC, Aspen finally feels like home…
“I moved here with my husband and three daughters less than two years ago, and I had no idea how I would find my ‘people’ in such a small town. After only a few months, we discovered the Aspen JCC and the town transformed for us. Suddenly we were part of a community that felt like family; moreover, the JCC had a preschool for our girls and a place we could gather every Shabbat morning. Because of the JCC, Aspen finally feels like home.”
