Kudos to these three New Jersey politicians for directing state funding to The JCC OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY, which, as they accurately note, "The Jewish Community Center’s support for people of all ages and abilities knows no bounds,” Diegnan, Karabinchak and Stanley said. “From their unique and interactive Pre-K program to their extensive special needs programs and accommodating senior programs, the Jewish Community Center has it all. Through this state funding, the reach and services the Jewish Community Center provides for the Middlesex County community will continue to grow.”

Israel is a central pillar of the JCC Movement. Dror Stein, director of content and leadership at the Z3 Project, an initiative of the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto, California, nails it in this eJewish Philanthropy opinion piece when she writes, “Israel cannot remain the responsibility of one department or one educator. It must be woven into the institution as a whole.”
As America marks 250 years of independence, we wish the JCC Movement's Jewish communities across America a joyful, safe, and meaningful Fourth of July!

We honor community, freedom, and belonging with heartfelt gratitude for all who help make these values possible. #ShabbatShalom
We are so proud of Rabbi Scott Klein, a JWB-endorsed U.S. Army chaplain at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, who is quoted in this article that explores the Jewish-American experience as our country prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary! "[P]luralism isn’t a source of weakness,” he said, in part. “I hope to remind the Jewish community in the nation that religious freedom is not a passive luxury. It’s actively defended.”
