JCrafts Center for Jewish Life and Tradition — Local services in Rockville

We had a birthday party yesterday for my son. There were about 20 kids present. We all had a great time and the presentation and chocolate making was engaging. The pace was good to keep all the kids engaged. At one point, Levi had the kids get up and start dancing and moving. That was great timing as they needed to move to get their “wigglies” out of them.

At the end, everyone loved that they had treats to take home. All of the kids has great things to say about being able to make chocolate treat AND getting to take them home.

Finally, working with Levi was great. Super easy to coordinate with. He ordered pizza for the party and went the extra mile when the delivery details surprised us. Levi was great to work with and it made the event so easy for us.

Please do try this venu for a party. While I haven’t been for a public event, I bet he brings the same enthusiasm to this as he did for our party.

More chocolate? ...

Such a fun experience! You can tell the owner really loves what he does. They are currently going through renovations I believe, but don’t let that stop you from having a fun, affordable experience.

We did the chocolate making class. The Rabbi stands at the front and gives a demonstration and then you get to try your hand. We poured chocolate into molds, and even made chocolate pretzels. We got to learn about the history of chocolate, and also about Kosher. I think it’s amazing that this place is trying to educate others about Jewish culture while also sharing the love of chocolate with others. Also - this is so much more affordable than other classes similar to this! Highly recommend taking your family or for a date night.

My only feedback is that it was hard to hear at times, but I believe they’re working on that with this...

We celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday 🎂 with the chocolate factory and what a great and yummy time it was!! 🎉 The kids got learn where chocolate comes from and then make their own and had a FANTASTIC and AMAZING time!! SOME parental help/supervision is required for this age group, but such fun for all!! Levi, the owner, was so helpful along the way and was very responsive to my questions and requests! We also ordered pizza, Ben Yehuda, and a cake, from Sunflower, and they were both awesome!! I do recommend making a few extra lollipops 🍫 or pretzels or whatever kind of chocolate you make, because the kids get so excited about their yummy creations that they may not have anything to take home 😋 Definitely a birthday to be...
