History
Established in 1854.
In 1854 the Hebrew Young Men’s Literary Association, the earliest antecedent of the JCC, was founded.
In 1926, Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association merged to become what was informally known as the «Y.» Located on the southwest side of town, the «Y» complemented the JEA, which served the east side Jewish population.
In 1951, the JCC was born. A welcome merger of the JEA, the Y, and Camp Woodlands into one institution with a mission to serve the recreational, spiritual, educational, and cultural needs of the Baltimore Jewish Community.
By 1960, the JCC building at 5700 Park Heights Avenue opened its doors, following the migration of Jewish people, from east Baltimore to their new neighborhood in the Northwest corridor.
The JCC experienced rapid growth. In 1966, Camp Milldale opened its beautiful 150-acre site in Reisterstown. In 1978, the Owings Mills JCC opened.
