OUR MISSION

"The Jewish Community Relations Council of Westchester"

The Westchester Jewish Conference is the central coordinating, advisory and resource body for the Westchester Jewish community, representing over 130 Jewish organizations and serving nearly 150,000 Jews. As a Jewish community relations organization, the Conference unites Westchester Jewry with the State of Israel, fosters communication between Jewish organizations, as wells as cultivates and strengthens relations with other ethnic groups, elected officials and the community at large.
The passing of Rabbi Jacob S. and Deborah Rubenstein on Shabbat, April 5 leaves the greatest of voids.  May we all be comforted along with the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and may their memory inspire us to work together in strengthening our Jewish community.
