What we do

The full gamut of Jewish experiences across the U.S. and Israel

Whether you are new to the city, interested in developing your personal and professional networks, or looking for uplifting Jewish educational and experiential programming, it all begins at JIC

A soft landing in a new city

As a gateway into the Jewish experience and the first point of contact for individuals relocating to cities across the U.S. and Israel, we provide new arrivals with the resources and opportunities to connect with their Jewish neighbors, actively join the local community, and engage with Jewish observance at an optimal personal level.

Meeting life partners

JIC provides Jewish singles with opportunities to meet life partners through a Jewish dating website and a wide range of cultural events, including cooking classes, wine tasting, and gallery openings. The results speak for themselves: so far, 115 matches were made through our programs.
