ABOUT US
Who we are
The Newburgh Jewish Community Center is a social meeting place in Newburgh that serves one and all. Staff, leadership, and members are committed to the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (making the world a better place). We do this through programming, partnerships, philanthropic endeavors and community-building. By focusing on enrichment, educational, cultural and social engagement touchpoints we are able to provide a place where there is something for everyone.
By becoming a member, you help support community initiatives and philanthropic giving. You'll also receive free or discounted entry to events and weekly programs. Join us every week for pickleball, yoga, walkrobics, meditation, tai chi, mah jongg, bridge, and line dancing!
Not a member yet? Join us anyway! Your first class is always free.
