Along with the rest of life’s typical challenges, the Jewish community in Westchester faces an alarming rise in antisemitism. With your dedication and generosity of our donors, we provide support in a number of ways and believe that together we can strengthen the resilience and connection of our Jewish community.

“It is me who thanks you for giving me back my dignity and common sense, as well as my sanity in this very scary world.” ~Jackie

Whatever your affiliation or identification to being Jewish, WJCS is here for you. We do our best to connect you to a broad range of services or assist in referring you to services to meet your needs. Through Jewish Programs we support Aging Holocaust survivors, seniors in assisted living centers, family caregivers whose loved ones suffer from dementia, and those who are grieving. Synagogue rabbis throughout Westchester County depend on WJCS for spiritual and emotional guidance for their congregants in emotional distress. When there is a tragedy in our community, we are here. And, we support children and families in Jewish nursery schools and day schools who are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems.

“I can’t imagine what it would be like to serve a community that does not have WJCS. We can provide congregants with a WJCS social worker and support those going through painful life transitions. I know when it’s time to refer my congregants to the kind of skilled and compassionate care that WJCS offers.” ~Senior Rabbi Johnathan E. Blake of Westchester Reform Temple

WJCS is proud to serve our Jewish community and Westchester Holocaust survivors.
