JCC Center for loving kindness
Community is our middle name at the JCC, and ‘Loving Kindness’ is our north star.
What We Do
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh Center for Loving Kindness, established in 2017, works toward the goal of redefining the word *neighbor* from a geographic term to a moral concept, works to strengthen the fabric of community and the Jewish value of “love your neighbor as yourself.” CFLK serves as a catalyst for social change and connectedness through social action, community building and interfaith work.
