We inspire and support grandparents to create meaningful and joyful Jewish connections with their grandchildren.
The Jewish Grandparents Network is a national organization that educates, connects, and supports grandparents as essential partners in enriching Jewish life across the generations.
We envision a world in which grandparents inspire vibrant Jewish families and communities, nurture Jewish pride and joy, and confidently model a love of Jewish heritage and values.
We seek to infuse our events and experiences with joy and meaning—and fun and silliness—to surprise and delight grandparents and grandchildren of all ages.
