About the JCRC

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County is the public-policy, community relations, and advocacy arm of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County. The JCRC helps to unite, support and direct the organized Jewish community in the greater Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach areas. Rooted in Jewish values and informed by Jewish history, the JCRC also reflects the ideals of American democracy.

The JCRC is the local affiliate of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the American Jewish community’s network of local and national public affairs organizations throughout the United States.

What does the JCRC do?

The JCRC serves as a catalyst for building a strong and vibrant Jewish community in South Palm Beach and around the world, advocates for a safe and secure democratic State of Israel, and promotes an American society that is democratic, pluralistic, and just.

In pursuit of these goals, the JCRC:

• Educates, assists, and enables the Jewish community to pursue social justice;
• Advocates for issues of Jewish communal concern;
• Supports Israel education and awareness.
• Develops interfaith and inter-ethnic relations.
• Builds, maintains, and joins coalitions to promote effective action and opportunities for community involvement;
• Convenes the community in times of crisis, celebration, and commemoration, ensuring that the Jewish community speaks with one strong, clear voice on important issues;
• Maintains a dialogue between the Jewish community and government officials at the city, state, and federal levels, encouraging them to vote for bills and measures that help the Jewish community.
