History

The JCC has been an integral part of the Lehigh Valley Jewish community since its founding in 1918. Throughout the 100 year history, the organization has grown roots that reside in the loving and welcoming nature of our community. The JCC has become our “neighborhood,” a place where Jewish and secular values and traditions can be shared actively in a warm, comfortable, vibrant environment.

The JCC serves nearly 2,000 members. All are welcome to tour their facilities, learn about programs, and become part of the extended family.
