JCC Rochester

Founded in 1907, the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester is a state-of-the-art fitness, wellness, and aquatics facility that welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds. The JCC offers a wide range of programs including early childhood education and camping, professional theatre, cultural arts, sports and fitness, wellness services, and older adult programming.

Deeply rooted in Jewish traditions and values, the JCC’s mission is to celebrate Jewish life while welcoming the broader community to join together in exceptional events and activities that establish lifelong connections. The center emphasizes Jewish values such as chesed (loving-kindness) and kavod (honor and respect) in its programming and community-building work.

Located in the William and Mildred Levine Building on Edgewood Avenue in Rochester, NY, the JCC serves as an essential hub for Jewish living for the entire community, offering diverse pathways to connect with Jewish knowledge, tradition, and community in personally meaningful ways.
