What it is
Michael-Ann Russell JCC Mah Jongg is the first-party Adult Services Mah Jongg program at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center (MARJCC) in North Miami Beach (Miami metro): a dated Wednesday Adult Services: Mah Jongg series plus a Thursday Adult Services: Mah Jongg (for learner only) series on the official JCC calendar. It is an in-person JCC Adult Services table, not Japanese Riichi and not a Facebook-only meetup scrape.
Who it’s for
North Miami Beach / Miami-Dade players who want a weekday in-person Mah Jongg seat on a printed JCC calendar at a fixed street address — including a learner-only Thursday block. Distinct from Riichi clubs and from scraped directory cards without a first-party schedule.
Why it’s listed
This is a first-party JCC event calendar with a printed North Miami Beach address and live September–October 2026 Mah Jongg rows — an unused US metro (Miami) for Plaza Local group listings on disk.

Schedule lines above are what the official calendar showed on the check date. Wednesday Mah Jongg event pages print the campus address and organizer phone but do not print a named room (Senior Lounge) on the check date — only the learner-only Thursday rows do. Hours can shift for holidays; confirm the live series / event page before treating a seat or room as fixed. First-party pages do not print a guest fee, membership door price, or NMJL card line on the check date — do not invent those.

Notes
- American Mah Jongg wording. First-party titles use the American “Mah Jongg” spelling for Adult Services social / learner blocks. They do not print “National Mah Jongg League,” “Riichi,” or Chinese / Hong Kong rules on the check date — do not invent a printed rule-family lock the pages do not show. Not Japanese Riichi as the house game.
- JCC Adult Services calendar tables — not a commercial parlor and not a scraped Meetup-only listing. Confirm membership / guest rules with Adult Services (phone on the event pages) before showing up; the calendar rows themselves do not print a door price.
- Standing Miami-metro JCC with dated 2026 Wednesday and Thursday series — not a ticketed one-off fundraiser.
- Not affiliated with Mahjong Plaza.
FAQ
Q: Is this Japanese Riichi or Chinese mahjong?
A: No. The MARJCC calendar titles the blocks Adult Services: Mah Jongg and Mah Jongg (for learner only) using American “Mah Jongg” wording. Those pages do not name Riichi or a Chinese-family house game on the check date.
Q: When and where do they play?
A: On 2026-09-14 the series pages listed Wednesdays 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (e.g. Sep 16, 23, 30; Oct 7, 14) and learner-only Thursdays 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (e.g. Sep 17, 24; Oct 1, 8, 15) at 18900 NE 25th Avenue, North Miami Beach, FL 33180. Learner-only rows name Senior Lounge; Wednesday open Mah Jongg rows print the campus address without a named room. Confirm the live series page for the day you want.
Q: Can beginners come, and is there a fee?
A: Yes — there is a separate Adult Services: Mah Jongg (for learner only) Thursday series on the official calendar. The event pages do not print a guest or member door price on the check date; call Adult Services at 305.932.4200 x144 (as printed on those event pages) before treating a seat or fee as fixed.
