The Power of Community Relations

We will gather on the cusp of Passover to reflect on and tackle today’s challenges and rededicate ourselves to ensuring freedom for all.

Since 1944, JCPA has been the organized national Jewish community’s convener, intergroup connector, and policy advocate. The Conference brings together the largest Jewish national network to engage on today’s crucial issues through a Jewish lens.
