Jewish Community Association of Austin
The goal of the Outreach and Engagement Department of the Jewish Community Association of Austin is to strengthen and broaden our community by reaching out to newcomers, interfaith families, unaffiliated and others, and assist them in their search for Jewish community. We also assist our local institutions, through partnerships, to help integrate these individuals into Jewish communal life.
