Jewish Community Councils (JCCs) are a form of local Jewish organization with the purpose of safeguarding Jewish rights, and assisting local residents.[1] Jewish Community Councils were mostly formed in the 1940s.[2][3]
Activities
Jewish organizations are locally based, though they do play a role in coordinating activities with national Jewish organizations.[2] JCCs focus on assisting local Jewish community and safeguarding Jewish rights.[1] Recently, Jewish Community Councils have helped out locals in the aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy.[4]
Jewish Community Councils
Jewish Community Councils are located in a number of cities in the United States. In New York City alone, there are 24 JCCs.[5]
