The agencies of the Schultz Campus for Jewish Life (Schultz Campus) educate, enrich, and challenge people, no matter where they fall along the spectrum of life, to become the best versions of themselves.
The Schultz Campus is a one-stop-shop encompassing all of life’s big and little needs in one convenient and easy location. We have a full suite of comprehensive products and services, embrace all of Greater Akron with a supportive and values-driven community feel, and have been a credible and trusted community steward since 1973.
Our campus contains everything families and individuals need to thrive! Featuring the latest wellness, adult education, and early childhood education options at the Shaw JCC, an innovative and superior education from The Lippman School, critical support and counseling from Jewish Family Service, and strategic vision and fund development from the Jewish Community Board of Akron.
The Jewish Community Board of Akron (JCBA) is a volunteer association of concerned and committed people that exists for the purpose of preserving, enhancing and perpetuating the Jewish way of life. It is affiliated with the Jewish Federations of North America.
Along with the various programs and services the JCBA provides to the Akron-area Jewish community, it holds the Annual Campaign. This campaign provides funds for two agencies under the JCBA umbrella: the Shaw Jewish Community Center of Akron and The Lippman School. It also provides monies to many other local, national and international Jewish programs and agencies.

In the year that Akron received its charter, a small group of Jewish men established the Akron Hebrew Association to meet their religious, educational and social needs. These German-speaking people, many of whom were prominent Akron merchants, laid the groundwork for Jewish community life in Akron in the pioneering period between 1865 and 1885.
