Israel is a specific place with delineated borders, and is also networked to a whole galaxy of conversations where authenticity plays a crucial role. Israel generates authenticity in uniquely powerful ways because of its location at the nexus of the imagined and the concrete. While much attention has been paid to Israel as a political and ethnographic/ demographic subject, its appearance on the map of literary spaces has been less thoroughly considered.

Now in its sixth year of existence, over 500 men have joined the group and participate in a wide array of activities ranging from monthly luncheon meetings, recreational sporting activities, study and educational groups, and volunteerism. Membership in the MCA makes each member an official member of the JFCC. Paid up members of the MCA are eligible to join all programs. It is necessary, however, to sign up for each program. Many groups are limited in the number of participants in order to allow each member the best possible experience. The MCA actively welcomes new members, and encourages their input in organizing new activities, and in participating in all of our stimulating and exciting programs.
