What we’re about
Dive into the Heart of Jewish Young Professional Life with JYC – New Jersey!
Welcome to the Jewish Young Community (JYC) – New Jersey, a beacon for young adults aged 21-39ish, a project of the Morristown Jewish Center (MJCBY). Our doors are wide open for individuals and couples from all backgrounds and observance levels, offering a warm and vibrant space to forge meaningful connections, with events regularly attracting participants who immerse in joy, connection, and Jewish culture.
Why JYC? Here’s Why!
- Community at Its Core: Whether you’re a young professional or a graduate student, JYC is your go-to hub in Northern and Central New Jersey for making lifelong friends, diving deep into heartfelt prayers, celebrating our rich traditions and culture, and connecting with the broader Jewish community in meaningful ways.
- Events That Spark Joy and Connection: From cozy Shabbat dinners and sweet baking gatherings to lively wine tastings and hands-on social action projects. But that’s not all – embrace the great outdoors with our hikes, test your wits at trivia nights, and explore local gems at our meetups.
- Recognition and Impact: Our efforts haven’t gone unnoticed – thanks to features in JewishLink, Jewish Standard, and New Jersey Jewish News. It’s a testament to our dedication to crafting engaging and impactful experiences for our community.
- A Home for All: Centrally located at MJCBY and welcoming attendees from across Morris, Essex, Somerset, Passaic, Bergen, Union, and many other counties, JYC is a melting pot of diversity. While we cherish our roots in the Conservative tradition, our doors are open to everyone – no membership required. It’s all about connecting with Judaism in ways that resonate with you, surrounded by peers who become friends and, eventually, family.
