To actively encourage individuals to find their husband/wife. To provide appropriate services to support individuals at the end of relationships and beyond.

  • Principles We believe in the importance of Jewish marriage and family life as fundamental to the future of the Jewish community. We reflect in all the work of the JMC the Jewish values of communal responsibility (arevoot) and care, support and concern for others (chesed). We are a voluntary organisation available to all members of the Jewish community in the United Kingdom. We accept the religious authority of the Chief Rabbi and our religious supervisor is Rabbi Mirvis.
