Meet the Westchester Jewish Council

For more than 50 years, the Westchester Jewish Council has connected synagogues, schools, agencies, camps, foundations, and community organizations so that together we can accomplish what none of us can do alone.

 Mission Statement

The Westchester Jewish Council (founded in 1975 as the Westchester Jewish Conference, as an independent 501c3 not for profit organization) is a central convening, communicating, coordinating, and connecting body for the county’s Jewish community, representing over 120 Jewish organizations and serving 130,000 Jews.

Through four pillars of impact, the Westchester Jewish Council connects, convenes, and strengthens our community, creating opportunities, partnerships, and advocacy no single organization could accomplish alone.

The four pillars are:

Building Jewish Community

Strengthening Our Connection to Israel

Advocating For Our Community

Building Relationships. Strengthening Community
