Jewish Community Council


Jewish Community Councils are a form of local Jewish organization with the purpose of safeguarding Jewish rights, and assisting local residents. Jewish Community Councils were mostly formed in the 1940s.

Activities

Jewish organizations are locally based, though they do play a role in coordinating activities with national Jewish organizations. JCCs focus on assisting local Jewish community and safeguarding Jewish rights. Recently, Jewish Community Councils have helped out locals in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
