Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center, the only full-service JCC on Long Island’s North Shore, is dedicated to serving community wellness in every aspect, regardless of age or ability. As an agency, we promote physical health through our cutting edge health and wellness center, while also providing for emotional and spiritual health through a variety of divorce, bereavement and cancer support groups and Jewish programming with our own staff rabbi. We broaden the horizons of our members of every age, from the youngest in infant and toddler day care to adult cultural programs to current events discussions for seniors. Sid Jacobson JCC also believes that everyone deserves to live a dignified existence, no matter what their condition. With this in mind, we offer day care for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as programming for children and teens living with special needs.

Our Mission
The Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center promotes Jewish identity. We provide a comprehensive program based on Jewish values, traditions, heritage and culture and are committed to enriching the lives of all the individuals and families in our community.
Our Vision
We, the Sid Jacobson JCC, serve our community with quality programs and services that promote social, cultural and physical well-being. Our focus is on our community, those we touch directly and those we touch in collaboration with others, but we also value our connection with K'lal Yisrael (the broad Jewish community) and Israel. We live in a constantly changing world. Our programs and services evolve as our members and their needs evolve. We recognize that serving tomorrow well begins by reaching out today.
We seek:
- To be responsive to all individuals and families in our community in all stages of their lives.
- To strengthen them physically, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually by promoting social and cultural well-being.
- To nourish our spirit by strengthening our sense of Jewish identity, our understanding of human diversity and our commitment to tikkun olam (repairing the world).
The Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center is committed to maintaining the privacy of our members and those who participate in our programs. While the JCC collects names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, access is restricted to those employees who maintain our database or send out interest-specific information. The Sid Jacobson JCC does not share or sell member or participant information.
