Jewish Community House of Berkeley (Berkeley, Calif.)

The Jewish Community House of Berkeley was an independent inter-generational grassroots organization that was founded by alternative Jewish groups to help coalesce Berkeley's Jewish community in 1978. As such, its original purpose was the creation of a multi-use facility that was based on a democratic, participatory model. The organization developed a network of individuals, groups, and organizations in Berkeley, Calif. It also organized projects that were designed to reach out to unaffiliated Jews, including two L'Chaim festivals, and created various interest groups.
