The Marks JCH opened in 1927 as an anchor for the Brooklyn Jewish community. Since then, we have served more than four million individuals of all ages, religions and nationalities through our social service, health, educational, cultural and recreational programs. Since the mid-1980s, we have helped resettle more than 50,000 immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

A home away from home, the JCH is where visitors meet the love of their life, foster life-long friendships, grow to adulthood, and, for some, obtain life-saving support. We’re a center of Jewish community life, a recreational hub, a social service center and a resettlement house.
