JCC MetroWest

JCC MetroWest has been a pillar of the community for over 140 years. Nearly 2,000 people have entered the J for daily educational, social, cultural, and fitness programs. The Leon &Toby Cooperman JCC in West Orange and the day camp, Camp Deeny Riback, serve an area that covers 400 square miles–from New York City to the east in Essex County and extending to the outlying suburbs of Morris County to the west. Through their classes, theater events, fitness centers, summer camps, and community-wide festivals, they touch approximately 50,000 people each year.

In keeping with Jewish heritage and values, JCC MetroWest is an inclusive community of communities. The J is open to and appreciates people of all ages, genders, races, religions, nationalities, ethnicities, abilities, sexual orientations, education, socioeconomic levels, and political perspectives. The J's mission is to strengthen the community and add meaning to the lives of those served by connecting them to—and through—shared Jewish experiences.
