Our Mission
We seek to promote understanding of the Jewish people by educating both Jews and the general public about the history, culture, and religion of the Jewish people and by encouraging appreciation of the beauty of Jewish ritual and practice.
In our custodian role we seek to collect and preserve artifacts and to record the history of the Jews of North Carolina, as well as to conduct programs that examine and portray the Jewish presence in North Carolina.
The JHFNC seeks to strengthen Jewish communal bonds among North Carolina’s diverse communities by maintaining networks that connect Judaica collections and Jewish educational resources across the state and by creating bridges between the older established community and our many newly arriving residents.
