Learn American Mah Jongg with the Mahj Club Beginner Retreat. Same Mahj Club method as our Beginner Series, just in a one day commitment.  Infused with over 30 years of playing experience and delivered through our Authentic Mahj Club Method, this retreat is grounded in the traditions of the game and aligned with official National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) standards.  We will begin with tile identification, and foundational game rules. . We will decode the card and practice building hands.  In the afternoon, you will be coached through playing games that build confidence and momentum at the table.


The NMJL card is included in the course fee. Please note: this is a bring-your-own-lunch experience*, allowing for a relaxed mid-day break without disrupting the learning flow. Coffee, tea and water will be provided. The retreat wraps up with guests feeling more connected to the game and eager to keep playing. Afterward, guests are welcome to enjoy the Mary Alpert Pool and learn about all that the Alpert JCC has to offer.

*Please adhere to the Alpert JCC policy of not bringing pork or shellfish on campus.
