JEWISH COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE

The Jewish Community Relations Committee (JCRC) is Federation’s advocacy arm in the community on issues that are central to our values as Jews and Americans.  Our work with elected officials on the local, state, and national level ensures that issues important to our community are being addressed. Specific areas of work include combatting antisemitism, promoting a strong alliance with Israel, funding for day school education, Holocaust education, and food insecurity. Contact Alana Burman, Director, JCRC, for more information at AlanaB@jfnnj.org

CIVIC & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Federation is building bridges with non-Jewish organizations and leaders of faith based and ethnic groups in our area. We are committed to working in the broader community by cultivating understanding and a mutual responsibility to build a strong community. Relationships are formed based on communication, cooperation, and understanding. We work together with organizations to promote shared values and collaborate on common concerns such as security, hate and bias, and culture and identity.
