Jain Academic Bowl (JAB) Tournament is a popular event for our youth in the biennial JAINA convention.  This friendly competition tests the overall knowledge of Jain philosophy, history, conduct, literature, rituals, tirthankars and more.  The competition is open to youth below the age of 21 at the time of the competition. Watch this YouTube video presentation for a snippet of the 2019 JAB Tournament.

We are now enrolling JCNC students to prepare and compete for a spot on the JCNC JAB team at 2021 JAINA convention, which will likely be during the July 4th weekend.

Why consider JAB

• A tremendous increase in understanding of Jain philosophy

• The chance to represent JCNC at a National level in the Jaina convention

• Make lasting friends from JCNC and other Jain centers 

• Learn to work in a group and navigate team dynamics

• Sharpen quizzing skills

• It is tons and tons of fun…

  
  

Who can sign up

Students aged 8 and above will find this most beneficial.  If you are currently enrolled in Jain Shala, this will reinforce  your understanding of core jain principles. If you missed the opportunity to attend Jain Shala, you can start from the basics and advance quickly.
