VAN CORTLANDT JEWISH Center (VCJC), seen here on April 14, 2025, has been located at 3880 Sedgwick Avenue in Van Cortlandt Village for the last 60 years. In mid-May 2024, members voted to sell the center to a private developer and to return as partial tenants, despite opposition from some members and local residents.
