NCJW NY has a long and rich history of speaking out for progressive policy change. We continue this tradition today as the leading Jewish voice for economic and reproductive justice for New Yorkers.
For 40 years, NCJW NY has provided nourishing meals and grocery staples to New Yorkers in need, never turning anyone away. Today, our Hunger Program provides so much more than just food.
Elderly New Yorkers are often dismissed or forgotten. But Council House is a place where our elders are welcomed, valued, and respected. We celebrate elderly New Yorkers and support their caregivers.
NCJW NY is committed to providing a supportive community. Council House is a place of compassion and understanding, a place where one can heal from life’s most difficult losses.
NCJW NY is committed to educational equity, providing support to help level the playing field for low-income students. Our programming helps children develop a love of books and reading, and foster excitement about school.
We will be partnering with Central Synagogue and the New York Jewish Agenda to screen the acclaimed documentary “Under G-d,” followed by a panel discussion featuring our Executive Director Andrea Salwen Kopel. The film follows the national Jewish response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Also on the panel will be Senator Liz Krueger, Planned Parenthood of Great New York Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gillian Dean, and Rabbi Rebecca Rosenthal of Central Synagogue.
