The Jewish Community Relations Council was born out of an urgent need to unify the voices of our community, following a self-assessment of American Jewry's response during the Holocaust. For more than 60 years, the JCRC has represented the organized Jewish community on major public affairs issues of vital concern to our community.
JCRC builds consensus on issues ranging from American support for Israel to civil rights, from quality public education to anti-Semitism, and represents those consensual views to the broader community through a robust education and advocacy program.
Over 60 years later, our JCRC Ð one of 125 nationwide - continues to engage in effective advocacy and build bridges of civility through dialogue, coalitions, education and social activism. Working together, across Jewish, other faith, ethnic and civic communities, JCRC strives to preserve the conditions under which Jews - as individuals and a community - can flourish here and abroad. JCRC pursues a just society and secure Jewish future.
We appreciate your support as advocates through your activism and financial support,
