B'nai B'rith is an international Jewish organization committed to the security and continuity of the Jewish people and the State of Israel; defending human rights; combating anti-Semitism, bigotry, and ignorance; and providing service to the community on the broadest principles of humanity. Its mission is to unite persons of the Jewish faith and to enhance Jewish identity through strengthening Jewish family life and the education and training of youth, broad-based services for the benefit of senior citizens, and advocacy and action on behalf of Jews throughout the world.
For nearly 100 years, the JCC Denver’s mission has been to build a community, rooted in Jewish values, where everyone feels like they belong. Our center was founded in 1922 as a place of refuge for the Jewish people of Denver, where they could safely gather under one roof to celebrate the cultural aspect of being Jewish.
Since then, the JCC Denver has evolved into something more–more than a single building, more than just a gathering place, and more than our individual departments and programs. Today, the JCC Denver is a community that extends beyond the walls in which we do business. We open our literal and figurative doors to anyone who wants to celebrate life and be a part of something more.
The JCC Denver has been, and always will be, a place where you belong.
OUR MISSION:
To build a community, rooted in Jewish values, where everyone feels like they belong.
OUR VALUES:
Connection. The link between one person and another. The thing that binds them and brings them together. The spark of chemistry that cements a relationship for life.
Community. The tribe of people who get you. Who share your values, your life-stage, and your way of life. The feeling of fellowship with others. The knowing that you’re never alone.
Wellbeing. The state of being healthy and happy. Feeling physically and emotionally secure. Taking responsibility for the welfare of ourselves and others.
JEWISHcolorado mobilizes resources to ensure that Jewish culture remains vibrant, secure, and accessible for all Jews in Colorado and abroad. We act on issues of concern to the local community, steward our communal resources, and maintain living links with the people of Israel, in partnership with local, national, and international agencies.
