The Jewish Community Center, or JCC, provides families and individuals of all denominations with a variety of services -- from child care, to fitness classes, to arts and cultural events.

It has now closed its physical building and moved its schedule to a virtual platform. The virtual JCC experiences are free and available at the JCCIndyArts Facebook page.

From our Arts and Culture Desk, WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke with Cultural Arts Coordinator Kelsey Eberle about how the nonprofit is adjusting. Practicing social distancing, Ditmire reached Eberle by phone.

She was the local news anchor during "All Things Considered" and a contributor to "Morning Edition," "Sound Medicine," "Art of the Matter “Curious Mix” and "Wednesday Live at 5:44." Jill's broadcast experience included anchoring and reporting news at television stations in Indianapolis, Detroit and Lafayette, including WTTV, WRTV, WLFI, WJBK, WTHR, WISH and the Ford Motor Company News Network. She produced her own television series on Indiana Public Television for eight years called “The Good Life” which showcased independent chefs, restaurants and local wineries.
