Your support is more important than ever

Since the devastating atrocities committed on October 7th, the JCRC has assumed the responsibility of being our community’s primary first responder in confronting an unprecedented and unrelenting surge in antisemitism while also serving as the consensus public affairs voice in support of Israel. Our annual event is JCRC’s single largest fundraiser and your support enables us to continue our vitally important work.
