Our Leadership

 

Welcome from the President

Welcome to the website of the Westchester Jewish Conference.  This site is designed to be an information and communication tool for the growing Westchester Jewish community, both newcomers and long-time residents.

 Since 1976, the Westchester Jewish Conference has been in existence to help coordinate and unify the Westchester Jewish community.  We currently have 131 member organizations and synagogues that serve the growing Westchester Jewish population of about 150,000 people.

 Please visit the various areas of this site to get a full sense of the programs we coordinate or promote.  Take special note of the community calendar.  The calendar is designed to inform you of major upcoming events, programs, lectures, etc., as well as help the leadership of the community avoid conflicts in scheduling future events.

 On behalf of the volunteer and professional leadership of the Westchester Jewish Conference, as well as our member organizations, synagogues and supporting vendors and advertisers, we welcome you and encourage you to be in touch with us with any questions.

 Shalom,   

Debra A. Weiner

President
