About the Business
Welcome to the Jewish Religious Center (JRC), a vibrant hub for Jewish life at Williams College, located at 24 Stetson Court, Williamstown, Massachusetts. Nestled behind the Admissions Office, the JRC serves as a cornerstone for the Williams College Jewish Association, offering a warm and welcoming space for religious observances, social gatherings, and community engagement.
Our unique building, designed by Newman Architects, embodies a harmonious blend of religious, scholarly, and familial activities. It stands as a temple, meeting hall, library, and kitchen, all under one roof. This architectural gem is described by Newman Architects as a "house" where students can feel at home in their heritage, drawing strength and support from their identity. The design reflects the spirit of the Jewish experience, providing a place of belonging and inspiration.
While the JRC is primarily dedicated to serving the needs of Jewish students at Williams College, we warmly welcome members of the greater community to join our services and events. As eloquently stated by Francis Oakley, President emeritus of Williams College, this building represents "an outward sign of the inward grace that infuses our community; the grace of openness, reconciliation, mutual respect, and appreciation of the richness that our mutually various heritages bring to all of us."
We invite you to explore the Jewish Religious Center, a place where tradition meets community, and where every visitor can experience the warmth and richness of Jewish life at Williams College.
