JCRC ensures that the Jewish community is represented in the most important conversations and decisions happening in Massachusetts
— in government, civic space, the state legislature, interfaith dialogue, and public life. Established in 1944, The Jewish Community Relations Council is the voice of the organized Jewish community in Greater Boston, advocating and defending on behalf of their priorities and values in the broader civic space. Our relationships allow us to act quickly to face issues affecting Jewish community at home and abroad, promoting a society that reflects the best of American and Jewish values. We’ve built connections and understanding across disparate backgrounds and perspectives. We’ve advocated for the interests of the Jewish community in Greater Boston and beyond. We’ve created events, forums, and opportunities that deepen individuals’ understanding of current issues, connecting them to changemakers and civic leaders. And we’ve done all of this while successfully engaging people in programs and service opportunities that make a real impact. JCRC proudly leads a community that is defined by its passion, resilience, and commitment to shaping a world where our Jewish voice matters; our community thrives; and future generations find strength in our enduring legacy.
