Purpose and Mission

The North Carolina Jewish Clergy Association (NCJCA) is an organization of rabbis and cantors of various streams serving congregations, agencies, organizations, and the broader Jewish community of North Carolina. In its gathering, it seeks to reflect the moral and religious voices of the Jewish community in North Carolina. 

The NCJCA provides a forum for rabbis and cantors:

  • To promote the interest of Judaism and the Jewish people in North Carolina and throughout the world

  • To serve as a collective voice of the North Carolina Jewish clergy community with due regard for the autonomy of the individual clergyperson and of the various Jewish clergy groupings and with regard for the halakhic discipline of the individual members and their loyalty to their respective Jewish clergy organizations

  • To support members in professional and personal growth so they may serve, teach and hold their respective communities with sanctity, wisdom, and dignity 

  • To strengthen the bonds of fellowship among its members 

  • To provide and maintain a forum for the discussion and resolution of problems relating to Jewish life in the community

  • To confer about community issues and standards

  • To facilitate cooperative programs among congregations, communities, and agencies
