Jewish Community Relations Council
The Jewish Community Relations Council builds bridges of understanding and communication between the Jewish community and other community groups and leaders in Greater Raleigh.
JCRC works with elected officials, law enforcement, schools and community groups. We coordinate with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) which coordinates JCRCs throughout North America.
Whether advocating for Jewish students, teachers and staff with Wake County Public Schools, meeting with government officials, exploring interfaith initiatives, or strengthening ties to Israel, JCRC represents the interests of our Jewish community everyday.
