JCC Center for loving kindness
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.
