Empowering Generation J.
We are creating a new time for JCC Chicago. Our board, our leadership, our staff and our community believes in the collective impact of the Jewish spirit and is moving forward on an ambitious course of action with an urgent sense of purpose.
We are not going to just repair the world. We are going to reimagine it. Reinspire it. Together we will redefine what a great Jewish community organization can be.
We are going to harness culture, education, current events and create new and unexpected way to connect and inspire our community. We are going to reach across traditions and generations to create a new community of engaged Jewish people – call them Generation J – who will be defined by their life-long embrace of Jewish values and their personal connection to the J.
We will never stop believing in the life-changing power of the Jewish spirit...come join us on our journey!
