JCRC-NY strives to create a more connected Jewish community in New York. We aim to be a common table for New York Jews. We recognize the need to build bridges and cultivate understanding among diverse groups within the Jewish community, such that all Jews feel a sense of responsibility for one another and see their destinies as inherently linked. Initiatives to count the Jewish community in the 2020 census, ensure COVID-19 vaccine distribution, and Get Out the Vote and Ranked Choice Voting Education are just a few examples of issues JCRC-NY has promoted across the Jewish community.

JCRC-NY connects with rising Jewish changemakers in New York City through our Blumberg Fellowship for Jewish Community Relations, a premier civic leadership experience. Designed for bold thinkers and emerging leaders, this immersive program empowers participants to engage with the most pressing challenges facing our city—and to help shape a more connected, inclusive New York for all.

JCRC-NY finds opportunities throughout the year for New York Jews to celebrate and share our Jewish heritage, culture, history and holidays, including through holiday explainers and our theme of the year, the value of  “Hachnasat Orchim” – Embracing Hospitality. One of the hallmark programs of JCRC-NY, The annual Celebrate Israel Parade/Israel Day on Fifth, unites the Jewish community as we march together to celebrate Israel and all its accomplishments.
