The NCJCA is devoted to serving as a national resource for Jewish performers and presenters, and to the presentation and production of high quality Jewish cultural events, thereby preserving for this and future generations the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish people and its contributions to society.
The NCJCA is a secular, 501(c)3 not for profit organization, whose
purpose is to use all mediums available, i.e.Theater,
Film, Television, Music, Dance, Art and the Internet,
in order to promote the wealth and depth of Jewish
culture.
The NCJCA is dedicated to presenting both existing
and original works that portray different aspects of
Jewish culture and identity.
The NCJCA will solicit and present works by Jewish
playwrights, songwriters,artists, etc., in order to
show the diversity of Jewish creativity.
The NCJCA will create programming specifically
oriented towards younger audiences, in an effort to
offer them a source of knowledge and a sense of pride
in their Jewish identity. For non-Jewish audiences we
will offer a means of learning something about
Judaism, in order to narrow the gap between the
cultures and offer insight into the ability of the
Jewish people to survive and be creative, during
thousands of years of persecution.
The NCJCA will present events in the Yiddish
language, including poetry, literature, music and
theater, in order to preserve an aspect of Jewish
culture that was nearly destroyed in the Holocaust.
The NCJCA will present the works of the children of
Holocaust survivors, in an effort to maintain the
endurance of that legacy.
The NCJCA will promote musical events in Hebrew and
Ladino, in order to show the beauty and variety of
Jewish languages and musical styles.
The NCJCA in conjunction with the Israeli Consulate,
will present events of Israeli culture, in order to
promote understanding between our societies.
The NCJCA will find ways to promote the continuity of
Jewish culture into the 21st century by encouraging
new creativity in all mediums, through the use of
Festivals, Commissions and Competitions, and by
making our programming available to the Jewish
communities around the world..
