Gordon Jewish Community Center

The Gordon Jewish Community Center welcomes all, builds community, and provides excellent programs rooted in Jewish values to enrich the mind, body, and spirit.

Nashville has one of the oldest Jewish communities in the U.S., but it didn’t have a community space to call their own until just over a century ago. What has become the Gordon Jewish Community Center has experienced 114 years of vibrant members, determined leaders, health-conscious programming, exciting events, and stories that have transcended lifetimes. Through all of this history, the mission of Nashville’s J has remained consistent.  

The Gordon Jewish Community Center strives to provide programs and services based on Jewish values and steeped in Jewish traditions. Members from all areas of Nashville and its surrounding communities can come together here to connect, exchange ideas, build community and grow together.
