Jewish Community Centre For London

The Jewish Community Centre for London (also known as the JCC for London) is a charitable organisation that aims to provide a way into, or back into, active Jewish life for all of London’s Jewish community.

Rooted in Jewish values, the organisation runs a wide programme of events that it launched in 2005. These target all members of the community, irrespective of affiliation or level of observance. Held in various venues across London, the programme aims to be inclusive and is not religious, instead using its events to provide a gateway into Jewish life and foster a cohesive community.

Famous quotes containing the words jewish, community, centre and/or london:

    It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class.... I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says “there is no wisdom without leisure.”

    Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
    Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)

    To live and die amongst foreigners may seem less absurd than to live persecuted or tortured by one’s fellow countrymen.... But to emigrate is always to dismantle the centre of the world, and so to move into a lost, disoriented one of fragments.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    To me Americanism means ... an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
    —Meyer London (1871–1926)
