We echo the call of the Jewish community and engage in public discourse to amplify our voice.
The Community Relations Committee (CRC) is the advocacy and public affairs arm of Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ. Our mission is to mobilize the Jewish community on national, state and local issues to ensure that our community’s interests are addressed.
By forging relationships with our elected representatives, educating and engaging our community, and building coalitions with other political and faith-based groups, we make sure that our voice is heard on issues which are central to our values as Jews and Americans.
