How the JCCRP Works in the Community
The Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula (JCCRP) is a member organization consisting of over forty Jewish groups serving the Rockaway Peninsula. Since 1972, the JCCRP has been providing services on a non - sectarian basis to those in need and advocating issues of concern to the community. The JCCRP offers information and referral service about community activities and resources.
The Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula is a proud affiliate of Met Council, a not-for-profit organization representing and coordinating the efforts of grass roots Jewish Community Councils and citywide and national Jewish organizations. It is the primary advocate for the needs of poor Jews, reaching out to the isolated Jewish poor and elderly, and increasing public recognition of the extent and nature of poverty among Jews through legislative and social advocacy.
The JCCRP is also pleased to be an affiliate of UJA-Federation of NY whose mission is to care for those in need, strengthen Jewish peoplehood, and foster Jewish renaissance in New York, in Israel, and throughout the world.
The JCCRP maintains a community calendar designed to reduce conflicts among area organizations programs and events. This calendar is published monthly and distributed to leaders of local organizations. It is updated more frequently on the Community Calendar page of this website.
