Jewish Heritage Month

Welcome to Jewish Heritage Month at RCC

We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to all members of our community as we celebrate Jewish Heritage Month.

Jewish Heritage Month provides us with a valuable opportunity to recognize and honor the rich cultural, historical, and religious contributions of the Jewish community.  Throughout the month, we will have the chance to engage in meaningful discussions, educational events, and cultural celebrations that highlight the diverse tapestry of Jewish heritage.

Rockland Community College is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment where all cultural traditions are respected and celebrated. Jewish Heritage Month serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing diversity and promoting understanding among our students, faculty, and staff.

We encourage you to participate in the various events and activities planned for Jewish Heritage Month.

Together, let us embrace the spirit of Jewish Heritage Month and celebrate the invaluable contributions of the Jewish community to our shared humanity.

We look forward to celebrating Jewish Heritage Month with you.

Jewish employees are invited to participate in an hour-long, virtual focus group conversation about RCC’s campus climate on March 19 at 3:00pm. The focus group will be conducted by researchers at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization partnering with Hillel International. The focus group session will be recorded. However, the recording and focus group participant names will not be shared with anyone, and participant names (or any other identifying information) will not be associated with anything shared in the reported findings. If you are interested in participating in the focus group, please contact Belinda Kodgis at [email protected] or Dylan Griffith at [email protected].
