The JCRC is the non-partisan, the Public Affairs Voice of the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford and the liaison to the non-Jewish community.  We are committed to:
 

• Protect, strengthen and celebrate Jewish life here, in Israel and throughout the world
• Demonstrate our Jewish ethic and values to the non-Jewish community
• Work with our neighbors of all faiths for the common good.

The JCRC speaks out on issues of public policy, advocates for political and legislative initiatives, takes on the challenges of social justice and articulates our Jewish community’s positions on world events affecting Israel and Jews throughout the Diaspora.  Everything we do is informed by fundamental Jewish law and values, particularly:  

• Tzedakah (righteous giving)
• Tikkun Olam (repairing the world)
• K’lal Yisrael (serving the worldwide Jewish community)
• G’milut hassadim (acts of loving-kindness)
