JCRC builds relationships with faith-based organizations and communities as well as with other minority groups. We believe in working with others and value finding common ground through interfaith text studies, holiday parties, discussions and more.

Israel Advocacy and Engagement

JCRC offers opportunities that explore the culture and diversity of Israel. We organize a Yom Ha’atzmaut community celebration and work with the Jewish Agency and Partnership2Gether to strengthen our connection to Israel.
