The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life

The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life, is a new model of community center designed to match the needs and spirit of the Jewish communities in Central and Northern Brooklyn. 

The Neighborhood will be an inclusive and welcoming community hub with a physical Brooklyn location. We will be a gathering place for local Jewish groups and organizations that don't have their own space, for new programming, and for cross-community collaboration. We will produce programs to fill gaps, raise up underrepresented perspectives, and welcome the thousands of Brooklynites that have not yet found their Jewish home. We hope to create a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Brooklyn -- future-thinking and deeply historical, iconoclastic, and sacred. And that serves an excellent cup of coffee. We will host other organizations and their communities and curate our own programming. We see ourselves as part of the global Jewish dialogue about contemporary Jewish life, inviting the worldwide community to our neighborhood and enriching our local culture. As we look for our permanent home, we are excited to work with friends and organizational partners to produce pop-up programs throughout Brooklyn.
