2022 JCRC Gala
This year the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Washington is delighted to be honoring Mimi Brodsky Kress and Michael Kress, Shelly and Jeff Kupfer, and Al Munzer and Joel Wind for their many years of leadership and dedicated service to our community at our annual gala.
JCRC By The Numbers
$8,000,000 government funding for community security & social services
5,000 students and teachers met with a holocaust survivor
800 students trained to advocate for Israel
Coach Kennedy being allowed to pray at the 50-yard line is not good for Jews
The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing a coach to pray on the field makes it even harder to advocate for minority-faith students
Jewish community leaders will fight attempts to restrict abortion in Virginia
At the Jewish Community Relations Council, which represents 150,000 Jews in Northern Virginia and 150,000 more in D.C. and Maryland, executive director Ron Halber added that the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has further divided the nation.
“As a result of the supreme court’s decision, access to abortion will depend on where you live and which political party controls your state. It has led to increased polarization. It’s setting up battles between states and within states.”
‘After Shabbat, we will act’: American Jews gear up for wave of post-Roe activism
The Washington D.C.-area JCRC said it would push back against further restrictions on abortion access in Virginia, and it would lobby to keep Congress, which has a degree of jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, from imposing abortion restrictions on an overwhelmingly liberal population there that rejects such restrictions.
