Educate

about Judaism, Israel, the Holocaust,
and the challenges we face today

JCRC builds relationships to fight antisemitism and bigotry; educates about Judaism, Israel, antisemitism, and the Holocaust; advocates for Jewish values and priorities; and safeguards our community.

Safeguarding the security and wellbeing of individuals and Jewish communal institutions.

As the public affairs voice of the Jewish community, the JCRC fights antisemitism and prejudice, advocates for Israel, provides Holocaust education, promotes tolerance and social justice, and builds bridges across the Jewish and broader communities.

Power of Place: 2025 European Summer Institute for Holocaust Educators 

Power of Place is an immersive professional development opportunity for teachers where learning unfolds as we tour authentic historical sites across Europe in order to transform our understanding of the Holocaust, WWII, antisemitism, and Jewish life today. Power of Place is planned and co-led by Humanus Network on behalf of JCRC and generously supported by the Minnesota Vikings, the Tankenoff Families Foundation, and Allianz of America Corporation.
