The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado serves as the representative voice of the organized Colorado Jewish community in addressing the mandate of the Jewish community relations field. The JCRC consists of representatives from thirty Jewish agencies, organizations and synagogues, as well as at-large members that represent the political, youth, and business components of the 70,000 members of the greater Denver/Boulder Jewish community. The mandate is expressed in two, interrelated goals: to safeguard the rights of Jews here, in Israel, and around the world; and, in order to accomplish that, to protect, preserve, and promote a just American society, one that is democratic and pluralistic. These goals are pursued in a non-partisan manner informed by Jewish values. more
