The Jewish Community Center of Harrison is a progressive, egalitarian congregation of over 450 member families affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. We were among the first in our area to count women in the quorum of worshipers and call them to the Torah for aliyot.

At the same time, our daily, Sabbath, Festival, and High Holy Day services retain a traditional flavor. Our founding members set the tone of intimacy and warmth almost 40 years ago, which has not dissipated through the years. We welcome newcomers with open arms and invite people who share our values to join our synagogue community.

The guiding principle of the JCCH is dedication to the threefold values of Jewish life — study, worship, and the performance of deeds of lovingkindness. These values are translated into the multitude of activities offered by the congregation — prayer services, holiday celebrations, educational programs for children and adults, and a variety of projects encompassing social action, concern for the elderly and the homeless, interfaith activities, support for Israel and KLAL YISRAEL — the worldwide Jewish community.
