“The mission of the JCRC is to safeguard the rights of Jews here (U.S, Indiana), in Israel, and around the world. We do this by protecting and promoting an American society that is just, democratic, and pluralistic. The JCRC was established in 1942 to live out several Jewish commandments and be the voice of the Jewish community in the community at large (faith, ethic, policy and civic leaders, and the media): to pursue justice, to repair the world, to love your neighbor, to welcome the stranger, to not stand idly by. The efforts of the JCRC reflect the profound Jewish commitment to "tikkun olam", the repair of the world, and "tzedeck tzedeck tirdof." Justice just shall you pursue. Both of these Jewish commandments express the conviction of the organized Jewish community that we must be active in the effort to build a society that is just for all. In order to accomplish its goals, JCRC convenes the "common table" around which representatives from every Jewish agency, synagogue, and organization are welcome and encouraged to sit together to find consensus on issues concerning the Jewish community, and then develop strategies to advance the public affairs goals of the organized Jewish community. The deliberative process of the JCRC allows for open, representative discussion to foster consensus. The JCRC is a constituent agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. The JCRC in Indianapolis joins with 125 other JCRCs across the country and over a dozen national Jewish organizations to form the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.”
