Move in early. Settle in smoothly.
The JRC is opening our doors a few days early so you can land at Michigan with calm, warmth, great food, and an instant community waiting for you.
You’ll ease into Ann Arbor surrounded by new friends and the JRC rabbis and staff, all who make the JRC such an incredible place and your future Jewish home away from home.
