About Levy Summer Series
Jewish Social Services established the Levy Summer Series in 2013 with a generous donation from Jeffrey C. Levy, to provide a memorable summer experience for adults.
Meeting in June, July and August, the series is held at Nakoma Country Club, 4145 Country Club Road in Madison and consists of six high-quality programs tied by a common theme, chosen each year by a committee of volunteers and staff. The programs are followed by an elegant lunch at a reasonable cost. A unique addition is the after-lunch salon, which is an opportunity to spend unhurried time engaging with the speaker and exchanging ideas in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Scholarships are available.
