About
 JCC Harlem

Our Mission Statement

JCC Harlem is a community space on West 118th Street that is welcome to all. An initiative of Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan in collaboration with UJA-Federation of NY, JCC Harlem creates unique and diverse access points to Jewish and communal life for members of the Harlem community.

We are an institution that is at once both intentionally Jewish and committed to facilitating experiences between those who identify Jewishly and those who identify otherwise—in service of connecting, growing, and learning within an ever-changing Jewish landscape.

The JCC Harlem Way

We are guided by the following values:

Cultivate belonging. We foster a community that is welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and accessible to all.

Nurture compassion and kindness. Our community is grounded in care, trust, and mutual respect.

Foster a commitment to mutual responsibility. We care for the needs of our community through service and support of one another.

Elevate people. We value the ideas, perspectives, and contributions of our community. We believe that community is built when people are heard, valued, and have the opportunity to lead.

Model a vibrant, expansive Jewish community. We embrace our diverse and ever-evolving Jewish community. We invite everyone to celebrate Jewish culture, ritual, and tradition, and welcome new ideas and expressions of Jewish life.

Spark joy, always.
