Kehillah (gathering together), Tzedek Tirdof (pursuing justice), and Re'ut (mutual respect)

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) seeks to teach and apply Jewish values to work toward a more just society and a strong, vibrant Jewish community.

The JCRC functions in two ways:

Consensus-building within the Jewish community
-We obtain a plurality of support amongst our 12 member organizations in order to articulate a shared vision or agreed upon action.

Partnerships across the broader community
-We collaborate with government, ethnic, religious and community entities on concensus issues affecting democratic and pluralistic concerns.
