Mission

As a center of a Jewish community life in Brooklyn for over 80 years, the Marks JCH of Bensonhurst provides meaningful, enjoyable programs and services for families and individuals in all stages of life.

We are a communal gathering place where people can derive satisfaction from shared educational, cultural, and recreational experiences.

We treasure Jewish values and traditions and seek to play a significant role in the formulation of Jewish identity.

We seek to strengthen our relationships and connections with Israel and Jewish communities worldwide.

It is our goal to build and sustain Jewish life in our communtiy by providing affiliation opportunities for people of all ages. As part of the larger Jewish community center movement we value our obligation to Jewish continuity and education.

We are an integral partner in the delivery of community-based, accessible social services that meet the present and emergent needs of our constituents.

As part of this partnership, we value the collaboration of other community and citywide organizations to meet our goals.

We respect our constituents and treat them with dignity.

In order to increase the health and well being of our constituents, we design programs and services that meet their expressed needs in a timely and responsive manner.

We play an active role in the community-at-large including the public and private sector.

Our doors are open to the multiple communities we serve and we pledge to a good neighbor, respecting the diversity of our constituents.

It is our goal to leave a lasting impact on the lives of all those families and individuals who join us. The Marks JCH of Bensonhurst is a partner for life.
