Find your lifelong community downtown!
Downtown Jews is JCP’s hub for fun, young Jewish adults ages 25 to 40ish looking for community and Jewish connection in Lower Manhattan. JCP is all about lifelong friendships and come-as-you-are Judaism, whether you went to Jewish sleepaway camp and lit Shabbat candles every Friday or have never done anything remotely “Jewish” before.
So come join us. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or just feel a little more rooted in the city, Downtown Jews is a relaxed group and a space to be part of something real.
