Mission, Vision, Values & Board

A LEGACY OF CONNECTION

Since 1971, the Kaiserman JCC has worked to advance and enrich life in Philadelphia. Our mission is to create fulfilling connections, enhance lives, and foster Jewish peoplehood through inspirational educational, cultural, and recreational programs. Our campus, which is located just west of Philadelphia, serves a diverse community through programs and activities that impact families, teens, and older adults.

VALUES ROOTED IN TRADITION

Our guiding organizational values are rooted in Jewish tradition and inform how we deliver our mission. These values have universal resonance in the Jewish community and beyond—we welcome everyone to participate in the programming we offer.

• Sakranut (Curiosity) – We pursue any opportunity to learn and grow as an organization and as individuals in service to our community.
• Hod (Amenability) – We embrace change and stay nimble as community needs and preferences evolve.
• Hachnasat Orchim (Hospitality) – We are committed to welcoming people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
• Simcha (Joy) – Our work and what we offer to others inspires happiness and fulfillment, even amid life’s great challenges.
• L’dor V’dor (Connection) – We help strengthen the bonds between and among generations by bridging our past with a diverse and inclusive future.
