JCRC is the umbrella body for 43 major Jewish organizations in the Chicago area. It serves as the instrument through which the organized Jewish community collectively makes policy on the shared agenda of its constituent members. Policies and guidelines are developed at monthly meetings attended by delegates of JCRC organizations. JCRC is a member of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) and the National Coalition Supporting Eurasian Jewry (NCSEJ).
Community powered, we consider the totality of local and global Jewish needs and how to address them. From generation to generation, we help people connect to Jewish life and values, fueling a dynamic, enduring community that comes together for good.
