New City Jewish Center (NCJC) is a dynamic hub of Jewish activity and leadership. We are a warm and welcoming community to all who seek to bring the richness and beauty of Judaism into your life and home.

NCJC is a place for friends and community to gather. We’re proud to host the region’s only twice daily minyan, engage in social action projects, promote a love of Israel, and grow through an array of educational opportunities.  With weekly Adult Education classes, active Social Clubs and a thriving Youth Community, we have something for everyone!"

At New City Jewish Center, we believe Jewish learning is a lifelong journey, offering meaningful opportunities for every age and stage. Beginning in Fall 2026, HaBayit Hebrew School and OJC’s Kulanu programs will unite to create one dynamic educational community, bringing together the best of both programs while building an even stronger future for Jewish learning. Rooted in the unique strengths, traditions, and successes of each, our integrated program will provide spirited, engaging, and creative Jewish education for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade and their families. Through innovative, hands-on learning, meaningful community participation, and thoughtfully designed educational experiences, we will inspire a lifelong connection to Jewish values, traditions, and identity, fostering a vibrant, inclusive community where every learner feels welcomed, empowered, and connected.

We love to share our passion for Judaism, its customs, and traditions. Our congregational practice is guided by the Conservative tradition and our institutional heart is guided by the values of kindness and compassion, chesed and rachamim. Welcome to the NCJC family!
