Jewish Community Centre for London

Official Site: Jewish Community Centre for London

The Jewish Community Centre for London (JCC for London) aims to provide a way into, or back into, active Jewish life for all of London’s Jewish community. The organisation runs a wide programme of events, welcoming everyone in the Jewish community, irrespective of affiliation or level of observance.

Rooted in Jewish values, the JCC's social, cultural, educational and recreational programme is specifically designed to foster an inclusive Jewish community for anyone and everyone who associates with being Jewish. The organisation is not religious, but instead provides a gateway into Jewish life – from sport to arts and culture, from debate to social action, from nightlife to eating and drinking.

The JCC for London launched its programme in 2005. Held in various venues across London, with a wide array of partners from inside and outside the community, the central goal behind the programme is to create a cohesive community; attracting Jews of all ages, persuasions and lifestyles, as well as their non-Jewish friends and families, by creating a welcoming, fun and stimulating environment.
