The Hasten Hebrew Academy of Indianapolis, the only Jewish day school in central Indiana first opened its doors in May of 1971. The mission of the Hebrew Academy is to create a learning environment that fosters the religious, social and academic growth of all students. Together as a community of learners, we promote growth in knowledge and identification with Jewish traditions. Through our programming and classroom instruction we instill in our students a spiritual bond and a strong sense of commitment to the State of Israel. By nurturing a love of learning, we seek to develop responsible, ethical and caring Jewish adults and American citizens of the future.

For more than 90 years the JCC has been dedicated to enriching the lives of people of all faiths in the community regardless of social or economic background. The JCC is open to all, even to those experiencing financial hardship. In order to fulfill our mission, we reach out to those who can contribute beyond program and membership fees to help underwrite the cost of other who cannot afford the full cost of membership, summer day camp, early childhood education and after school care. We rely on the generosity of others to help fund this fee assistance program.

The Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) was established in 1942 as the public affairs and intergroup relations arm of the organized Jewish community.  The JCRC works to foster a secure environment for Jewish living by advocating democratic values.  The JCRC acts in coalition with other groups advocating civil rights and social and economic justice.  As a constituent agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis, JCRC is charged with the responsibility to work to safeguard the rights of Jews here, in Israel, and around the world. In order to accomplish that, to protect, preserve, and promote a just American society, one that is democratic and pluralistic.
