What it is
Gordon JCC Nashville Mah Jongg is the first-party American Mah Jongg program at the Gordon Jewish Community Center in Nashville, Tennessee: dated beginner/brush-up classes that teach the National Mah Jongg League card, plus a dated community tournament on the same campus. It is a JCC adult program, not Japanese Riichi and not a commercial parlor.
Who it’s for
Nashville-area players who want to learn or refresh American Mah Jongg at the Gordon JCC (members and non-members) on a printed Tuesday class series, and players looking for the dated Dots & Dragons tournament day at the same campus. Distinct from Riichi clubs and from Facebook-only meetup scrapes.
Why it’s listed
This is a first-party JCC program with a printed street address, NMJL wording, Fall 2026 class dates and prices, and a dated 2026 tournament page — not a MahjongFinder card.
