JCC Of Greater Columbus
Ku saabsan
Our Beginnings
The JCC has served Columbus’ Jewish community since 1913, when Joseph Schonthal provided meeting rooms to all segments of the Jewish community at 355 South Washington Avenue. The primary function of the center was to help in the integration and settlement of the wave of immigrants coming from Eastern Europe, Russia and Lithuania, and as a center for youth activities.
JCC Mission
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus is a human service agency offering a varied program that is Jewish in nature. It is committed to enhancing the quality of individual and family life through the promotion of physical, intellectual and spiritual wellness. It provides educational and cultural programs that reflect the Jewish heritage, health related activities and many services to the community at large. Through its wide array of programs, the JCC pursues its mission of strengthening the individual, family and community.
