Israeli Center

Welcome to Our Community
The Israeli Center at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades is a vibrant hub where Israeli and American Jewish families come together to connect, celebrate, and grow. We offer engaging cultural programs, meaningful holiday celebrations, and family-friendly activities that bring our shared heritage to life.

Our Vision

• United under the shared heartbeat of Am Yisrael Chai
• Bringing Israeli culture to our American friends
• A home away from home for local Israeli families
• Bridging Israelis and Jewish Americans with meaning and purpose

Every event, class, and celebration is a chance to jump in, connect, and create unforgettable memories together.
