our inclusive
community
We provide opportunities to people of all ages and abilities, races and backgrounds, and genders and sexual orientations for inclusion in all programs. Our inclusion philosophy is woven into the fabric of each and every department at the J. We work to build a community where everyone acknowledges and respects people’s differences, while celebrating each individual’s inherent uniqueness.
Your gift matters.
The Minnesota JCC creates a wide-range of opportunities for people to connect, grow, and learn through meaningful programs that enrich Jewish life, build Jewish identity and strengthen our community. Our unprecedented level of inclusiveness embraces the true diversity of our community. Jewish or not, affiliated or not, young or just young at heart. Our life enriching programming is what keeps us all connected. Everyone belongs to the J!

Generous. Open hearted. Noble. Caring.
In Hebrew, those qualities can be summed up in one beautiful word – NADIV. We welcome our Nadiv Circle donors, who make gifts of $10,000+ annually to the Minnesota JCC. Your generosity supports our unique mission and the thousands of people we serve, engage and uplift each year.
