Education, leadership development, and advocacy from a progressive Jewish platform

The Jewish Center for Justice is a distinguished social justice, education, and leadership development platform that empowers current and future leaders to build a more compassionate and just society.

A diverse movement and community spanning generations and denominations, JCJ connects Jewish justice activists with unique opportunities to formulate their voices and make a real impact on issues such as immigration, gun violence prevention, economic justice, climate change, and more.

“Engaging with JCJ on campus has enriched my college experience by providing the tools and confidence I needed to raise my voice for justice, as well as a better understanding of how my activism is intrinsically linked to my Judaism.”
— Kevin Gibson, UC Berkeley

A JCJ Update on Israel and the Middle East

A JCJ Update on Israel and the Middle East

What is JCJ’s Role?

At the Jewish Center for Justice, we are not journalists—we are advocates, activists, and unapologetic Zionists.

We are also realists. We recognize that while Israel is a vibrant democracy and a homeland for the Jewish people, it is not without flaws. Our role is to provide clarity in a time of confusion, and to counter the rising tide of anti-Israel bias and systemic antisemitism that continues to plague global discourse.

Protecting the Druze

Last week, Israel took action in Syria to defend members of the Druze community facing brutal violence. The Druze have long lived safely within Israel’s borders, particularly in the north, and maintain strong familial and cultural ties to communities in Lebanon and Syria. As hundreds of Druze were being massacred by a newly formed regime in Syria, Israel acted out of moral and strategic responsibility to protect them.

Political Shifts in Israel

In recent days, we’ve also seen growing instability within Israel’s governing coalition. Some parties are threatening to exit, while others are gaining traction in the polls. We are closely monitoring these political developments, and we will continue to offer insights into what they might mean for the future of Israel’s government and its path forward.

Bringing the Hostages Home

We will continue to fight for the 50 innocent hostages who have been held in Hamas captivity for 653 days and counting. Each day that passes is a painful reminder of the world’s failure to uphold the most basic human rights. Their stories have not been forgotten. We remain steadfast in demanding global action, and we keep their names and faces front and center until they are safely returned home.

As always, we thank you for turning to JCJ for thoughtful, values-driven updates. We will continue to raise our voices—guided by truth, driven by justice, and rooted in our deep commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

Take Action: Support Our Immigrant Neighbors in Los Angeles

Across Los Angeles, immigrant families—our neighbors—are living in fear. Fear of being seen. Fear of going to work. Fear of sending their children to school. Fear of even leaving their homes. We are witnessing a rise in ICE activity and anti-immigrant rhetoric, and...
