ADVOCACY AND SOCIAL ACTION
The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) is a standing committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans. The JCRC serves as the Federation’s advocacy and social action arm, engaging all segments of the Greater New Orleans Jewish community and connecting with non-Jewish individuals and groups in the region to promote Jewish values.
The work of the JCRC generally falls into three categories: antisemitism and Israel advocacy, social and legislative action, and community service through the Nourish program.
