Tzedakah (Bringing Justice to People through Giving) is a central mitzvah of Judaism. JRC’s tzedakah funds give JRC members, their families and their friends a way to fulfill the traditional obligation of tzedakah, to support our congregation and its work in the community, and to honor, commemorate or express gratitude.
