Washington DCJCC Statement on Israel-related Programming:

The Washington DCJCC stands firmly in support of Israel as an independent Jewish state.  We support open, balanced and respectful dialogue that engages a broad community in meaningful conversation.  We choose our partners and affiliations to ensure that all programming supports the DCJCC’s mission to preserve and strengthen Jewish identity, heritage, tradition and values.  We oppose “Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions” of Israel (BDS) and all efforts to delegitimize the right of the State of Israel to exist.





The Washington DCJCC’s Morris Cafritz Center for the Arts features amazing partnership programs with the Embassy of Israel, Israeli artists and Israeli cultural institutions.

The Washington DCJCC receives a major grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington to enhance and grow these partnerships as we continue to create and present Israel-related programming of the highest caliber in the Washington DC area.
