The Boro Park Jewish Community Council (BPJCC) is preparing to open a brand-new community center in the heart of Boro Park to meet the neighborhood�s growing demand for services. With its current headquarters at 1310 46th Street operating at full capacity, the new location�situated near the Metropolitan Commercial Bank on 13th Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets�will offer expanded space and programming for the community.

�For decades, the BPJCC has been here for the klal�helping thousands navigate everything from SNAP and health insurance to immigration, legal assistance, and job placement,� said Avi Greenstein, CEO of BPJCC, telling YWN. �But we�ve completely outgrown our current space. Every inch is being used daily, and we simply cannot accommodate the full scope of what Boro Park really needs.�

The new center will allow BPJCC to broaden its range of services and host programs previously limited by space. �We�re planning to expand our workforce training to include courses in QuickBooks, graphic design, marketing, e-commerce, and computer skills,� Greenstein told YWN. �We�ll also finally have the room to host parenting workshops, support groups, and community networking events.�

Importantly, BPJCC�s original location on 46th Street will remain fully operational. The new center is an expansion�part of a larger effort to enhance community service delivery in a dignified and heimish environment.

�This isn�t just about more services,� Greenstein emphasized. �It�s about giving people a space where they feel welcome, respected, and empowered to improve their lives. This center is for the community�it belongs to everyone.�

Construction is expected to be completed within the coming week, and the first programs and events are already scheduled to begin shortly thereafter.

�We�re excited to take this next step and provide Boro Park with a space that reflects the strength and needs of our growing community,� Greenstein told YWN.
