Jewish Community Relations Council

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), a standing Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, is the “central address” for public interaction with partners inside and outside the Jewish community, working to represent the interests of the organized Jewish community to the community at large and to shape public policy that reflects Jewish and universal values of social justice. It serves as the advocacy arm of the Federation and is the instrument through which the organized Jewish community can explore and develop policies on issues affecting the community. The JCRC educates and engages the Jewish community on key international, federal, state, and local issues; builds consensus; establishes relationships; and builds coalitions with ethnic, religious, governmental, and civic organizations and the media, to ensure a vibrant community that is able to take positions and advocate to build a more just society. Under its government affairs component, the JCRC is responsible for efforts to maximize government funding that is available for programs and services operated by Federation partner agencies, and for efforts to promote social policies that enhance the quality of life for all people. The JCRC is involved in building and solidifying relationships with federal, state and local governments and the private sector around the traditional concerns for quality social services and programs for those in need.
