JCRC-NY builds relationships to advance the values, interests, and security of the Jewish community and to create a more interconnected New York for all.

We serve as the central coordinating body for over 60 Jewish organizations in the metropolitan area and have a broad agenda covering critical areas such as inter‐group relations, government affairs, Israel and international affairs and legal services.

JCRC-NY and UJA-Federation of New York were proud to attend an interfaith vigil alongside Jewish communal leaders, faith leaders, and partners from across New York mourning the victims of the horrific attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Every American must be able to pray, learn, and gather in community without fear. Attacks on houses of worship and schools are attacks on the foundations of religious freedom and human dignity in this country.
As a Jewish community that has experienced hatred and violence directed at our own sacred spaces, we stand in shared grief and solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters, and in unwavering opposition to religious hatred and intolerance in all its forms.
